Downing Street Says » Prime Minister’s Written Ministerial Statement

The Prime Minister’s Official Spokesmen (PMOS) told journalists that the Prime Minister’s statement on party funding would say:

I welcome Sir Hayden’s report. He has negotiated his report with skill and dedication, and for this I am very grateful. I am sure that the other political parties share my gratitude.

The report shows very clearly that there is now the basis for a new agreement on the funding and expenditure of political parties. There are a number of detailed questions which need to be taken forward, through a process of further discussion between the political parties. I hope that following these negotiations, consensus can be reached. I have asked Sir Hayden to chair these further discussions. I believe that they should begin soon and conclude before the summer recess, in order to build a platform for legislation in the next Parliamentary session.

The time has come for us to find a new settlement on party funding and expenditure. I have asked my Rt. hon. Friend the Leader of the House of Commons (Jack Straw) to lead these negotiations for the Labour Party. I hope that the Leaders of the other main parties will also nominate delegations to join the talks".

I’m not sure how it can called democracy when Labour want the public to be FORCED to fund the Labour Party?

Let the natural progression of politics take its course and let the people decide who should continue and who should be cast into the void.

If the Labour Party truly cared about democracy, they would an English Parliament and stop their racist and bigoted treatment of the English.

Pay for the Labour Party imposing taxes to fund their Celtgeld? Never!!
