And One Nation is about governing for the whole country. To do this we are going have to build a new kind of Labour Party.<\/p>\n<p>A new relationship with individual trade union members. \u201cSome people ask: what\u2019s wrong with the current system? Let me tell them: we have three million working men and women affiliated to our party. But the vast majority play no role in our party. They are affiliated in name only. That wasn\u2019t the vision of the founders of our party. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s your vision either. And it\u2019s certainly not my vision. \u201cThat\u2019s why I want to make each and every affiliated trade union member a real part of their local party, making a real choice to be a part of our party so they can have a real voice in it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an historic opportunity to begin bringing people back into the decisions which affect their lives. It means we could become a Labour party not of 200,000 people, but 500,000, or many more.A party rooted every kind of workplace in the country, a party rooted in every community in the country, a genuine living, breathing movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, it is a massive challenge. It will be a massive challenge for the Labour Party to reach out to your members in a way that we have not done for many years and persuade them to be part of what we do. And like anything that is hard it is a risk. But the bigger risk is just saying let\u2019s do it as we have always done it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is you who have been telling me year after year about a politics that is detached from the lives of working people. We need to build a party truly rooted in the lives of all the working people of Britain once more. \u201cThat\u2019s why we must have the courage to change. I respect those who worry about change. I understand. But I disagree. It is the right thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChange can happen. Change must happen. And I am absolutely determined that this change will happen. It is the only way to build a truly One Nation party so we can build a One Nation country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>. \u201cThey knew the Conservative Party had to represent the whole country. They couldn\u2019t write off whole swathes of people if they were to be worthy of governing Britain. It seems extraordinary to have to even talk about this historical lesson. But I do. \u201cWe have a Prime Minister, who writes you and your members off. Who doesn\u2019t just write you off, but oozes contempt for you from every pore. What does he say about you? He says your members are a \u201cthreat to our economy\u201d. Back to the enemy within.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSix and a half million people in Britain. Who teach our children, who look after the sick, who care for the elderly, who build our homes, who keep our shops open morning, noon and night. They\u2019re not the enemy within. They\u2019re the people who make Britain what it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow dare he? How dare he insult people, members of trade unions as he does? How dare he write off whole sections of our society? One Nation Conservatives, would be turning in their graves if they could hear the nasty, divisive, small-minded rhetoric of the leader of their once great party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know from recent experience what happens to political leaders who write off whole sections of a country. That\u2019s what Mitt Romney did when he talked about the 47% of people who would never vote for him. And look what happened to him. Friends, my job is to make sure that\u2019s what happens to David Cameron as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LABOUR PARTY PRESS RELEASE \u201cI am a One Nation politician.
