I read the Labour Party proposals, and they are a Keynesian analysis that we can spend our way out of the current situation. That raises the obvious question of which money we spend to achieve that desired end. Yesterday's budget, which we will discuss in greater detail later, clearly shows we do not have that money to spend, and it is not a short-term response. If the response is a larger public sector, it is the wrong analysis. We live in a small country with a public sector that needs to be examined in terms of what we can afford and how we can best deliver public services. I am not sure whether the Labour Party proposals are the best way of going about it.
