Audience. SV Attlee speaking. "The crucial question of this election, on which every elector must make up his or her mind, is this, what kind of
Society you want. We want a Society of free men and women, free from poverty, free from fear, able to develop to a full the faculties in co-operation with the fellows.
Everyone, giving and having the opportunity to give service to the community, everyone regarding his own private income in the light of the interest of others, in the light of the interest of the community. A society bound together by rights, their obligations rights bringing obligations, obligations fulfilled bringing rights, a Society free from gross inequalities and yet not regimented, not uniformed.
Let's go forward in the spirit of
William Blake "I will not cease from mental strife, nor shall the sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built
Jerusalem, in
England's green and pleasant land." (
