"In opposition, you move to the centre. In government, you move the centre." ― George Osborne Topic(s): Government More From George Osborne "Unless they have disabilities to cope with, no family should get more from living on benefits than the average family gets from going out to work. No more open-ended chequebook." "Some things never change, suck up to the government and you get an honour." "I’ve learned to be true to yourself, stick to the big arguments, don’t get distracted by the everyday kerfuffle that is in the nature of any democratic system." More In Government "Up against the corporate government, voters find themselves asked to choose between look-alike candidates from two parties vying to see who takes the marching orders from their campaign paymasters and their future employers. The money of vested interest nullifies genuine voter choice and trust."― Ralph Nader "There are laws for peace as well as war."― Titus Livius "We are beginning a new era in our government. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the government."― Andrew Jackson
