When David Cameron visited Luton recently he said that ‘Luton holds the key to the general election’.

Luton South is the most reliable ‘bellwether’ seat in the country, with the winning party going on to form the government in every election since1951.

All eyes will be on Luton on election night and your vote really matters here.

As we get ever closer to the day that Britain will have its say on thirteen years of Labour, I am keen to make sure that the people of Luton South understand the steps a Conservative Government will take to get our country back on track. I have therefore listed here a selection of our policy  commitments.

If you agree with these steps, why not help me make them happen and join my campaign?

But at the very least, for the good of Luton and the good of the country please vote Conservative. A vote for any other party or candidate risks five more years of Gordon Brown.
