I’m really not interested in what he or anyone else said 6 years ago.

It’s today and our future that matters and it would be good for a new political party to share their plans with us.

The best Education must be a nation’s first priority.
Without an educated population, we achieve nothing.
From cradle to grave, learning must be seen as required of all citizens

Healthcare comes second; educated people more likely to look after themselves.
