    Tories ask voters to 'join them'


    The Conservatives will launch their election manifesto on Tuesday by asking voters to join them in government, the BBC has learned.The 130-page document with a plain blue cover is entitled "Invitation to join the government of Britain".

    Pledges include giving voters the power to sack their MP, and cutting stamp duty for first time house buyers.

    Labour, which launched its manifesto on Monday, pledged to "renew" Britain; the Lib Dems to reform the tax system.

    Other policies put forward in the Conservatives' manifesto include allowing parents and charities to set up new academy schools, and the right for people to veto council tax rises through local referendums.


    In addition, the Tories want to make police forces more accountable through a directly-elected individual, and give communities the right to buy their local pub or post office.This article is from the BBC News website. ?
