“Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catchphrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let man label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country- hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.”
Mark Twain
“A Labour government would build on what was good and would not bring in changes for the sake of change but would instead focus on the country’s real needs.”
Joseph Muscat
“The price we’d pay for not ignoring reality would be greater than that we’d pay for introducing the living wage.”
“A future Labour government would base itself on meritocracy not mediocrity, as at present. This would be a government based on a movement which went beyond the limits of a traditional political party”
“Labour would be radically different from the current government with regard to economic growth. For Labour, the generation of wealth would come first. The government was taxing the country dry. But Labour believed that the key to economic growth lay in taxing less to earn more, by stimulating consumer confidence.”
“A future Labour government would destroy the tax of corruption, in all its levels,”
“A Labour government would be honest with the people. The people would accept sacrifices when the country’s real situation was explained to them rather than being told one thing before the election, and something different afterwards.”
