Originally posted by AtW View PostTheresa May will use election manifesto to ditch Cameron's pledges
Brexit, immigration and spending on NHS and education expected to feature strongly as PM seeks to secure own mandate
Theresa May will use her manifesto as an opportunity to obtain her own mandate from the British electorate and ditch a string of promises from David Cameron’s 2015 document.
It will come as no surprise that delivering Brexit will be at the heart of the offering, but spending commitments on health, education and overseas aid may yet be revised – as well as targets on immigration and pensions.
Brexit
May’s Conservatives will promise to deliver a Brexit that takes back control over the immigration system, involves leaving the single market and withdrawing from the jurisdiction of the European court of justice – commitments already made to the country in her Lancaster House speech last autumn.
She might be able to promise this will be complete by the end of the next parliament, but is likely to have to fudge whether the terms of EU membership continue on a transitional basis for a couple of years after the UK formally leaves.
Immigration
Undoubtedly, May will pledge to end free movement to and from Europe, sacrificing Britain’s membership of the single market to achieve this – and ditching a 2015 manifesto pledge to stay in the trading bloc in the process. But it is possible she will not repeat Cameron’s promise to reach net migration in the tens of thousands, preferring a vague promise of immigration at “sustainable” levels to avoid tying her hands.

Really nice con - get elected promising £50k threshold for high rate of tax, no increases in taxation, then fook the country over with Brexit referendum and get reelected whilst ditching original promises. That's a Tory Con™.

May will be anxious not to give any suggestion that the Conservatives would raise taxes, and went so far as to clear the decks for an election by cancelling a national insurance for the self-employed just a week after it was announced in the budget. However, she is less fond of gimmicky promises (AtW's comment: gimmicky promises, that's how Tory Scum call manifesto promises!) than Cameron and George Osborne so may steer away from their old pledge not to raise NI, VAT or income tax during the parliament. Labour will want to raise taxes on big corporations so the Conservatives are likely to have some offer in this area of tax fairness, such as yet another crackdown on tax avoidance."
