neil kinnock speech 1987

On the contrary, recognising it and applying it is the precondition of the victory which we need to get the power to put those convictions into effect. Those people who could stand with their backs and their legs straight and face the people who had control over their lives, the ones who owned their workplaces and tried to own them, and tell them, 'No.

There is a long course yet to run. The land is so over-used that they know that in the very act of feeding their families today they are beckoning famine for their families tomorrow.That has not happened because of carelessness. We will not have to wait in dead end training.We will not have to live on low pay - at least, not most of us here. They understood that we would be judged not only by the substance of policies or the quality of campaigns, but also by the way in which we acted as people and as a party. That is a matter of fact. People who had never voted Labour before voted Labour because they were asking this question as they witnessed the great divide - not the north-south divide, the south-south divide that fractures the south of Britain as Britain is divided north to south. (Applause)They refuse to recognise that you cannot have an efficient economy if you waste the potential of the people. They are the purposes that we want to put into practice. I needed no persuasion. (Applause)It is a socialism that knows that the natural environment of this world is fragile; that it is perishable; and that it must be safeguarded against the exploitation and carelessness that constantly menaces the very existence of a habitable environment.And ours is a socialism, too, that knows that whilst the market is an adequate system for deciding the price and availability of many goods and services, the market has not been, is not, and will never be an adequate mechanism for deciding upon the supply or the quality of health care and education and so much else that is fundamental to a decent life. It would be unacceptable for Europe to become a source of social regression, while we are trying to rediscover together the road to prosperity and employment.’ Of course, Delors was right.If a single market is created that extends across half the continent of Europe and the requirements of social justice are not installed as a central component in that venture, then the fruits of economic efficiency will be scooped up by a few countries - indeed, a few regions in a few countries. When trade unionists can secure the advantage of the members of their union by more efficient performance, they do it. You can say that you are slimming down, sharpening up, shaking out, and call it efficiency. Commentary: This conference followed Labour’s third successive general election defeat on 11 June, and Kinnock pledged a review of Labour policy in its wake. Geoffrey Howe has been to the north Kenyan desert. They see the emphasis on individualism and on competitiveness and it sends them reaching for their slogans.‘We don’t like all that talk about individualism,’ they say.Frankly, I am amazed that any socialist can say that. How, for instance, does the Big Idea address the real problems of a generation of children who will meet greater challenges in their future as citizens and  workers than any generation has ever known before? As a matter of doctrine, as a matter of dogma, in the place of that collective provision they want to install a system that makes access to all those assets of care and opportunity increasingly dependent upon the ability to pay. And they did not vote Labour last time or the time before.Many throughout this movement know them. But what is not advertised as we approach that single market is that we now have a deficit with the other countries of the European Community of £14 billion. Now, in the wake of our third election defeat, there can be very few, if there be any at all, who do not comprehend the need to be convincing in all three of those areas: policy; campaigning and conduct. Through social ownership in all its forces, great and small.Through regulation to protect consumers, the environment, health and safety conditions both of workers and - we remind ourselves in this year of the King’s Cross disaster - of the public as well.We must use the instruments of strategic investment in training, in science, in research and development.All of that is essential to strengthening a British economy that is underinvested, underperforming and carrying a huge trade deficit.Some of those weaknesses are chronic.
