This week we will be posting our views following the Conference in Manchester.
"This was my first Conservative Party Conference in Manchester and I am already very much looking forward to returning next year.
I was primarily interested in finding out first hand about the Conservative policies for stimulating growth of the UK economy, and as such the conference stood up to my expectations. Hearing George Osborne's speech live and asking questions in a debate with such contemporary economic gurus as Allister Heath of City AM were particular highlights.
It is reassuring that we have a strong leadership in these testing times, especially as the economic growth has ground to a halt recently. I am very much looking forward to seeing the benefits of such conservative policies as reduction of corporation tax and tax breaks for entrepreneurs - especially given the large numbers of Poles living in the UK run or are employed by SMEs.
Certainly, the Conservative Friends of Poland's conference stand, which I had the pleasure of spending a lot of my time on, proved to be very popular. The constant flow of guests, ranging from Ministers and Lords to councillors and businessmen, allowed us to do our bit as ambassadors for the British 'Polonia' (Polish diaspora), as well as for Poland itself.
The migration of Poles out of the initial hub of London into other areas of the United Kingdom means that we are becoming a political force to be reckoned with nationally; no longer just locally in the established 'diverse-community' areas of the capital. As such, a lot of enquiries and interest in the Conservative Friends of Poland came from councillors interested in how to best engage their Polish residents.
Due to the above, coupled with the potential we already have within the Conservative Friends of Poland, I am confident that we have great times ahead of us, as our importance as a platform for Polish-British cooperation is certain to grow rapidly within the next years."
