Candidly, I believe most corporations actually don't mind big government.

When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.

The goal to strive for is a poor government but a rich people.

I think it true that, you know, sometimes things start to change even before a government changes and, actually, I think you can begin to see even the Labour machine beginning to understand that it has become over-reliant on targets and processes, that local governments have been over-bossed and bullied.

I don't believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I have changed government policy solely because of a contribution.
