Community Relations
Building stronger, more integrated communities is central to our vision for Britain.
Under Labour, state-driven multiculturalism, uncontrolled immigration and the threat of extremism have led to an increase in distrust and segregation, and left us with divided communities.
A Conservative Government will correct Labour’s mistakes and create a Britain where people from different backgrounds can celebrate their diversity while sharing common civic values and national pride.
And we will unite Britain’s communities with a package of measures:
- Supporting community groups based on their effectiveness in countering poverty and deprivation rather than on the basis of ethnicity or faith
- Devolving power to local authorities, who are better placed to make decisions for their communities
- Offering English language instruction for all to cement the English language as the bedrock of our national identity
- Tackling unacceptable cultural practices, such as forced marriage and female genital mutilation
We believe that the State is no substitute for community. So a Conservative Government will help foster community cohesion, but recognise that it is about much more than government and politics – it is, above all, a social responsibility.
And that means that everyone must do all they can to make this a fairer and more just society - helping others, creating opportunity, and ensuring that no-one is excluded.
