The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It's played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for 'Strictly Come Dancing' than voted in the general election.

I don't have a shred of regret about entering the exchange-rate mechanism.

Well, I have concerns about the effectiveness of Europe to compete.
