“Our country only works for a tiny elite few at the top, and this Labour Party knows that must change” – Miliband responds to the referendum result

This morning, Ed Miliband gave a speech, following on from Johann Lamont and Alistair Darling, in which he responded to the results of the referendum.

He clearly emphasised that although Scotland voted to remain part of the UK, this was the beginning of massive change across the country: “this was a vote for change. change doesn’t end today. Change begins today...devolution is not just a good idea for Scotland and Wales, it is a good idea for England and indeed Northern Ireland as it already is too.”

Noting that it is only 8 months until the general election, Miliband said “our country only works for a tiny elite few at the top, and this Labour Party knows that must change. And we will change it.”
