After his passionate speech to Citizens UK today, Gordon Brown is making another push for the progressive vote with a strong vision for a new economic model in tomorrow’s Guardian.
Gordon writes:
“I know that I am the only leader who has a plan to secure this new era of economic change, built upon fairness and sustainability. And I want to seize this moment to place progressive ideals at the heart of a new constitutional and political settlement.
That is the kind of change that I am fighting for: opening up our politics and expanding economic opportunities for every person in Britain. But it is change that only a Labour government can deliver.
Only Labour will secure the recovery, because we are the only party with a plan for jobs and supporting the industries of the future. And only Labour can deliver a fundamental renewal of our democracy, with the guaranteed offer of a referendum by October 2011 on a fairer electoral system for the Commons and election of the House of Lords.”
