"Essentially we need a new social consensus for economic reform as New Labour has achieved in Britain..." — Peter Mandelson

Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world.

The markets don't like instability and they don't like uncertainty.

The last thing we need is to turn in on ourselves rather than face us up to what we have to do in the world.

I have moved on from being a British parliamentarian, I have moved on from being a New Labour politician, I have moved on from being the supporter in the active day-to-day sense of Tony Blair.
