Thanks To The Tabloid Campaigns I Have

The General Election Of 1983 Has Produced One Important Result That Has Passed Virtually Without Comment In The Media. It Is That, For The First Time Since 1945, A Political Party With An Openly Socialist Policy Has Received The Support Of Over Eight And A Half Million People. This Is A Remarkable Development By Any Standards And It Deserves Some Analysis ... The 1983 Labour Manifesto Commanded The Loyalty Of Millions Of Voters And A Democratic Socialist Bridge-head In Public Understanding And Support Can Be Made.

If We Can Find The Money To Kill People, We Can Find The Money To Help People.

We Are Not Just Here To Manage Capitalism But To Change Society And To Define Its Finer Values.

The Nature Of The Economic System Should Be A Matter For Public Choice, And Free Market Capitalism Should Not Be Accepted Without Any Discussion Of The Rich Variety Of Alternatives ... Unlike Civil Laws, Economic Laws Are Imposed On People With All The Authority Of Immutable Laws Of Nature. But The Economy Is Created By People, Supported By Government Intervention, Regulation, Statute And Subsidy, And Implemented In Such A Way That It Gives Substantial Wealth And Power To A Privileged Few, While The Majority Face A Life Of Relentless Work, Stress And Periodic Financial Insecurity.

I Think Democracy Is Not A Destination. I Don't Think Socialism Is A Railway Station And If We Catch The Right Train With The Right Driver, We'll Get There. I Think It's A Way Of Thinking About Things And Every Generation Has To Do It Again.
