“A Labour government would ensure that it was the well off who carried the heaviest burdens and now those with a small income. The people would understand the need for sacrifices when they could see that taxes were raised fairly and spent wisely.”
“A Labour government would be a governemnt which would put the country’s not the party’s interest first.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“Government seems to be forgetting we are in the European Union now. It is turning a blind eye to the Transfer of Undertaking Directive, which is there to safeguard workers’ rights. I am an EU citizen, in good times and in bad, and I therefore expect my government to stick up for workers’ rights where possible within the context of membership.”
