There's people coming in who've never done any politics at all, who've never been in a trade union, they've never been in a political party, they've never done anything, but they do feel a kind of urgency.

You may see the emergence of a new political party from the body of the trade union movement which represents a very clear-cut socialist alternative policy and which gives expression to the views of the trade union movement in parliament.

If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.

Any political party that includes the word 'democratic' in its name, isn't.

I don't like politics. I am not aligned to any political party. I have friends in all political parties.

There is no doubt that this government and this country are benefiting from the reforms that we brought in the 1980s, and that couldn't have been done without the co-operation of the trade union movement.
