David Cameron speech at Conservative Local Government Conference

David Cameron speech at Conservative Local Government Conference; David Cameron speech SOT - And let's be clear about the choice at this election. Five more years of Gordon Brown's tired government making things worse. Or change with the Conservatives who have the energy, leadership and values to get the country moving again.

And it's not just businesses that do this. If "more for less" is the goal, then many of you in this room are the star strikers. Local government i...
