I believe that the idea of promting a strong stable family is a good one
Difficult or unstable family backrounds can be a factor in many socio-econmic maladies that blight certain areas of the country. By promoting the idea of strong families, strong communities and stable safe places to live the conservatives are looking at long help with poverty, social injustice, social mobilty etc.

This is a change from simply throwing money at the problem and hoping it'll go away and if far more responsible and fair to the country. the other option is loads of investment for short term gains wherby the only real winners are the government who look better for re-election.

What an utter crock of cock.
How is this some great change? What do you think the working families tax credit was promoting? A tax break for being married is not targeted at the people whose relationships are most likely to be adversely affected by financial pressures. It is applied to the Queen in the same way as it is to an absentee father who has several children with different partners who decides to get married, as it is to those it may actually benefit. Being married is no gaurantee of discharging social rsponsibility.
