Sustaining Progress: Statements.
Some people do not like consensus and I understand that. I am sparky enough myself and I would not want consensus on everything. At the same time, consensus on matters such as going forward with the economy with a well thought out programme such as this, which brings sections of society together in a non-combative, non-envious way, is surely to be applauded. That is what the document seeks to do. It will have to be verified, monitored and delivered on and those are tasks for all of us, not just the groups formally set up for those purposes. However, let us not continue to run ourselves down. I do not know why we moan about ourselves all the time.
