My broad position remains firmly libertarian, sceptical of official cover-ups and uncompromisingly internationalist, believing sovereignty to be an almost total illusion in the modern world, although both expecting and welcoming the continuance of strong differences in national traditions and behaviour. I distrust the deification of the enterprise culture. I think there are more limitations to the wisdom of the market than were dreamt of in Mrs Thatcher's philosophy. I believe that levels of taxation on the prosperous, having been too high for many years , are now too low for the provision of decent public services. And I think the privatisation of near monopolies is about as irrelevant as were the Labour Party's proposals for further nationalisation in the 1970s and early 1980s. (en) |
