David Cameron will declare that the Conservatives are “the party of working people” as he revives the right to buy scheme and announces that people earning minimum wage will not pay tax under a Tory government.
Unveiling the Tory manifesto in Wiltshire, the Conservatives will attempt to reach out to working-class voters by outlining the two policies aimed squarely at those on low incomes.
The move will be seen as an attempt to emulate the success of Margaret Thatcher by broadening the party's support base outside of the middle classes.
And it will aim to take advantage of the perception that Labour under Ed Miliband have abandoned their traditional working class heartlands.
Mr Cameron will make an emotional appeal to voters and ask them not to “waste the past five years” by backing Mr Miliband in next month’s election.
The Prime Minister will promise to give voters “security at every stage of your life” by revolutionising the right to buy housing scheme to ensure it applies to housing association tenants.
And he is also expected to unveil a policy to ensure that a person on the minimum wage does not pay income tax.
