The year is 2020. The United Kingdom has enjoyed five years of economic prosperity and stability with a wholly Conservative government. We are heading back to the top of global economic tables for competitiveness, employment and public sector productivity. International businesses and investors recognise the United Kingdom as "the place to be". Britain is recognised as the world's leading hi-tech nation. Almost everyone has a tangible stake in the economy by holding shares and bonds in family businesses, mutuals and social enterprises. Above all people are planning confidently for their future.
