Cameron Speech 'We're All In This Together'David Cameron has used his first speech as Prime Minister at the Conservative Party Conference to call on the country to "pull together". The Conservatives ' slogan "We're all in this together" is "not a cry for help, but a call to arms", he said. Mr Cameron urged Britons to take part in projects to improve their communities, start up businesses and challenge waste. <a>wow gold</a> "Come on: let's pull together. Let's come together. Let's work together in the national interest," he said. The "Big Society" was a major theme of the speech, winning 10 mentions. "It's about government helping to build a nation of doers and go-getters," Mr Cameron said. "Where people step forward not sit back, where people come together to make life better." In the "big society spirit", the Prime Minister announced a new International Citizen Service based on America's Peace Corp. The plan is to allow thousands of young Britons the chance to "see the world and serve others". "The Big Society" also meant facing up to the scale of Britain's budget deficit, he said. The Prime Minister acknowledged again that spending cuts would be "difficult", but promised it would deliver rewards. He understood that people were "anxious" about cuts like the abolition of Child Benefit for higher-rate taxpayers announced this week, but insisted: "There is no other responsible way." It is "right" that those with broader shoulders bore a larger share of the burden of reducing the deficit, and the Government would always aim to ensure measures to cut spending were "fair", he said. Mr Cameron denounced Labour's plan to scale back the deficit at a slower pace as "selfish and irresponsible" and warned it would lead to more cuts in the long run. And he held out the prospect of a better Britain once the deficit was brought under control. "I promise you that if we pull together to deal with these debts today, then just a few years down the line the rewards will be felt by everyone in the country," said Mr Cameron. "They left us with massive debts, the highest deficit, overstretched Armed Forces, demoralised public services," Mr Cameron said. He also ridiculed Labour's "rules and regulations and quangos and bureaucracy and nonsense". And he said they had left a legacy of "patronising, old-fashioned, top-down, wasteful, centralising, inefficient, ineffective, unaccountable politics". Mr Cameron's speech comes days ahead of the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) which will probably lead to a 10% cut in the defence budget. He acknowledged the SDSR would mean "some big changes" for the Armed Forces. But he added: "I promise you this: I will take no risks with Britain's security." The Prime Minister restated his intention to remove British combat troops from Afghanistan by 2015, saying "we will not stay a day longer than we need to". <a>wow gold</a> Addressing the party faithful just months after becoming the first Conservative Prime Minister in 13 years and the first since the Second World War to lead a coalition administration, Mr Cameron wanted to reassure grassroots activists about his partnership with Liberal Democrats. He defended his decision to go into coalition with Nick Clegg's Lib Dems rather than seeking to form a minority administration. He acknowledged "there will be compromise and I know that we'll have to do things we might not like". But he said the country wanted "leadership not partisanship". He urged activists opposing the Alternative Vote referendum not to try to wreck the Bill currently going through Parliament, but to wait until the referendum to campaign to retain the first-past-the-post voting system. "At its best, this party always puts country first," he said. "We'll leave the vested interests to others. And no, we're not about self-interest either. <a>wow gold</a> "This is the party of the national interest and with this coalition that's what we're showing today." xboter 2014
