“Things in our country run in spite of government, not by aid of it.”
Will Rogers
“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 be a governemnt which would put the country’s not the party’s interest first.”
“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.”
“There was a limit to how much a government could reduce its spending, but a Labour government would invest more in key areas of the economy that yielded growth, such as tourism.”
“A Labour government would also bring about a generational change in tax collection, shifting taxation from income to environmental issues. In this way, people who were enterprising and were successful because of their hard work would not end up being penalised by paying more tax.”
“A future Labour government would destroy the tax of corruption, in all its levels,”
