演讲视频:英国首相谈下一代的政府

But if you think a whole lot of other things matter, that lead up to well-being, things like your family relationships, friendship, community, values, then, actually, this is an incredibly exciting time to be in politics. And the really simple argument I want to make tonight, the really straightforward argument is this, that, if we combine the right political philosophy, the right political thinking, with the incredible information revolution that has taken place, and that all of you know so much more about than I do, I think there's an incredible opportunity to actually remake politics, remake government, remake public services, and achieve what's up on that slide, which is a big increase in our well-being. That's the argument I want to make tonight.

So, starting with the political philosophy. Now I'm not saying for a minute that British Conservatives have all the answers. Of course, we don't. but there are two things at heart, that I think drive a conservative philosophy that are really relevant to this whole debate. The first is this, we believe that if you give people more power and control over their lives, if you give people more choice, if you put them in the driving seat, then, actually, you can create a stronger and better society. And if you marry this fact with the incredible abundance of information that we have in our world today, I think you can completely, as I've said, remake politics, remake government, remake your public services.
