I want to thank you for that speech

I want to thank you for the passion that you have shown in this whole campaign I want to thank you for the leadership you give to the conservatives in Scotland.

But above all, I want to thank you for such clear message you’ve given about how we are better together, you have been an absolute model in this campaign, and thank you. We meet in a week that could change the United Kingdom forever.

Indeed, it could end the United Kingdom as we know it.

On Thursday, Scotland votes, and the future of our country is at stake.

On Friday, people could be living in a different country, with a different place in the world and a different future ahead of it.

This is a decision that could break up our family of nations, and rip Scotland from the rest of the UK.

And we must be very clear.

There’s no going back from this. No re-run.

This is a once-and-for-all decision.

If Scotland votes yes, the UK will split, and we will go our separate ways forever. When people vote on Thursday they are not just voting for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren and the generations beyond.

So I want to speak directly to the people of this country today about what is at stake. I speak for millions of people across England, Wales and Northern Ireland – and many in Scotland, too...

...who would be utterly heart-broken by the break-up of the United Kingdom. Utterly heart-broken to wake up on Friday morning to the end of the country we love...

...to know that Scots would no longer join with the English, Welsh and Northern Irish in our Army, Navy and Air Force or in our UK-wide celebrations and

commemorations or in UK sporting teams from the Olympics to the British Lions. The United Kingdom would be no more. No UK pensions, no UK passports, no UK pound.

The greatest example of democracy the world has ever known, of openness of people of different nationalities and faiths coming together as one, would be no more. It would be the end of a country that launched the Enlightenment, that abolished slavery, that drove the industrial revolution, that defeated fascism; the end of a

country that people around the world respect and admire; the end of a country that all of us call home.

And you know what, we built this home together.

It’s only become Great Britain because of the greatness of Scotland.

Because of the thinkers, writers, artists, leaders, soldiers, inventors who have made this country what it is.

It’s Alexander Fleming and David Hume; J.K. Rowling and Andy Murray and all the millions of people who have played their part in this extraordinary success story. The Scots who led the charge on pensions and the NHS and on social justice.

We did all this together.

For the people of Scotland to walk away now would be like painstakingly building a

home and then walking out the door and throwing away the keys.

So I would say to everyone voting on Thursday, please remember.

This isn’t just any old country. This is the United Kingdom. This is our country. And you know what makes us truly great?

It’s not our economic might or military prowess. It’s our values. British values: Fairness, Freedom, Justice.

The values that say wherever you are, whoever you are, your life has dignity and worth.

The values that say we don’t walk on by when people are sick; that we don’t ask for your credit card in the hospital; that we don’t turn our backs when you get old and frail; that we don’t turn a blind eye or a cold heart to people around the world who are desperate and crying out for help.

This is what Britain means. This is what makes us, yes, the greatest country on earth. And it’s why millions of us could not bear to see that country ending for good, for ever, on Friday.

第二篇：卡梅伦的演讲稿(英文)

Rt Hon David Cameron, Tuesday, May 11 2010

Her Majesty The Queen has asked me to form a new Government and I have accepted.

Before I talk about that new Government, let me say something about the one that has just passed.

Compared with a decade ago this country is more open at home, and more compassionate abroad and that is something we should all be grateful for and on behalf of the whole country I'd like to pay tribute to the outgoing Prime Minister for his long record of dedicated public service.

In terms of the future, our country has a hung Parliament where no party has an overall majority and we have some deep and pressing problems, a huge deficit, deep social problems and a political system in need of reform. For those reasons, I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. I believe that is the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and decent Government that I think we need so badly.

Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders who want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. I believe that is the best way to get the strong Government that we need, decisive Government that we need today.

I came in to politics because I love this country. I think its best days still lie ahead and I believe deeply in public service. And I think the service our country needs right now is to face up to our really big challenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through those difficult decisions so that together we can reach better times ahead.

One of the tasks that we clearly have is to rebuild trust in our political system. Yes that's about cleaning up expenses, yes that's about reforming

Parliament and yes it's about making sure people are con, in control and that the politicians are always their servants and never their masters.

But I believe it's also something else. It's about being honest about what Government can achieve. Real change is not what Government can do on its own. Real change is when everyone pulls together, comes together, works together when we all exercise our responsibilities to ourselves, to our families, to our communities and to others. And I want to help try and build a more responsible society here in Britain, one where we don't just ask what are my entitlements, but what are my responsibilities. When we don't ask where what am I just owed, but more what can I give. And a guide for that society that those who can should and those who can't we will always help.

I want to make sure that my Government always looks after the elderly, the frail, the poorest in our country. We must take everyone through us on some of the difficult decisions that we have ahead. Above all it will be a Government that is built on some clear values, values of freedom, values of fairness and values of responsibility. I want us to build an economy that rewards work. I want us to build a society with stronger families and stronger communities and I want a political system that people can trust and look up to once again.

This is going to be hard and difficult work. A coalition will throw up all sorts of challenges, but I believe together we can provide that strong and stable Government that our country needs based on those values, rebuilding family, rebuilding community, above all rebuilding responsibility in our country.

Those are the things I care about; those are the things that this Government will now start work on doing.

Thank you very much.
