I am not in favour of us asking other countries to reduce their minimum wage, to privatise their public services, to introduce water charges and so on. I am not supportive of the idea that just because we got beaten on some of those issues, but not on them all, we should be seeking to be a part of that and would use our experience to expedite a race to the bottom in terms of economic policies.
