The programme recognises that the main challenge we are facing is one of consolidation. We need to hold on to the considerable economic and social gains we have made, as well as building on them. Nothing would be easier than to fritter them away. One can spend decades building up an economic reputation and then destroy it within six months. It can be hard to recover that ground. It is tremendously important, having made the huge effort collectively over the past 15 years, that we do not throw it away in more difficult circumstances. The fact that this agreement is in place is a considerable assurance that people intend to tackle the problems constructively and together.
