  Dave and Howard - lets be clear I do not consult the Conservative websites for answers, much as it may comfort you to think I do.
  
  The traditional family has been downgraded by idiotic politically correct policies endorsed by Labour. There is a mass of evidence that children do better when brought up by a mother and father but official policy refuses to recognise that.
  
  There is a 'couple penalty' in the benefits system that may not be the cause of break ups, but by its very existence demonstrates the low value placed on the traditional family structure.
  
  Government policies on 'inclusivness' and equaitly/diversity' create a situation by which homosexual couples, single parents etc must be treated and regarded on an equal footing to the traditional family regardless of the evidence for what is best for children.
  
  The recent adoption case where a homosexual couple have been favoured over the grandparents is an example.
  
  Make no mistake this is a downgrading of the traditional family and is simply wrongheaded. Official policy must recognise in both social policies and the tax/benefit system the superiority of the mother/father, preferably married set up.
  
  This is not to suggest that many single parents do a great job in difficult circumstances and indeed many couples do a bad job, but overall the evidence is repeatedly in favour of father/mother couples.
