Text Quotes
Our responsibility is to protect people and help them into work  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) As Development Secretary, I have seen in the developing world that climate change there is not a theory, is not a future threat: it is a contemporary crisis.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Having disrupted business practices, social interactions and political campaigns, 2011 will be seen as the year that the rise of the Internet first disrupted foreign relations.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Under Ed Miliband’s leadership, we are changing both our party’s structures and culture  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) As Scots, we certainly want change today, but the change the Nationalists offer is not the change we want or need.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) I do think our challenge is to balance credibility and a clear message about how we would reduce the deficit with boldness about the choices that we put before the public.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) A self-evidently confident politician, Cameron still suffers from a curious hollowness. Ten years after he became Conservative leader, many people still question what he actually stands for or believes in.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) One of the big weaknesses of the Conservative Party is not just their ignorance of and lack of effective response to the cost-of-living crisis but a more fundamental error about what makes for success in the 21st century.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Of course the decision to commit British forces in Iraq was, for many MPs, a wrenching choice. However, our responsibility in the face of a growing ISIS threat is not to be paralysed by history, but to learn the correct lessons from it.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) The Commonwealth is a vital and positive partnership between countries striving to develop trade relations and promote democracy and human rights, united by shared values.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) My general approach to opposition is where the government is getting something right, we should say so. And where we disagree with them, we should say so, too.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Scotland and England may sometimes be rivals, but by geography, we are also neighbours. By history, allies. By economics, partners. And by fate and fortune, comrades, friends and family.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) My vision for Scotland is one in which we fight together for the values we are care about: equality, fairness and social justice. Those values are the same whether you live in Dumfries or Carlisle.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Just as people have long believed that strengthening ties of trade improves the prospects for peace and the free exchange of ideas, Facebook friendships or Twitter followings already transcend national borders.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Traditionally, diplomacy was done in an environment of information scarcity. Ambassadors would send back telegrams to foreign ministries, comfortable in the knowledge that their views of a country would be the only source of information the minister would see.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Newspapers can make their own judgment in terms of who they support in a general election. Our responsibility is to make a considered judgment about where the national interest lies.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Stories come and go. The challenge is to frame the questions that voters will be asking on polling day, such as who has avoided a global depression and worked here to deliver jobs.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) What matters in any campaign is that you have a strategic core that makes the judgements, decides the strategy, and can deliver.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) In sport, as in science, business, and diplomacy, as Scots we understand that we benefit from the deep and diverse partnerships that make up the United Kingdom.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Too often, the idea seemed to be that the cost of being part of Europe was being less like Britain. So after years of fighting to defend Europe against attacks from the Eurosceptic right, it would be fatal to retreat into the same arguments and begin the battle anew  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Change is a process: future is a destination. People want a sense of hope, possibility and pride about Britain  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Historically, Labour has used technology as a form of control. We would use pagers and faxes to send out messages telling people what line to take. The key learning from the Obama campaign is to use technology to empower your supporters  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Building the future holds more attraction than ancestor worship, whichever ancestor we’re talking about.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) The ‘Arab Spring’ is the most spectacular example of the dispersal of power  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) It would be wrong for us to offer difference from the Conservative Party at the cost of credibility, but equally it would be wrong to offer credibility at the cost of being clear that there remain very fundamental differences.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) I think politicians who suggest they are uninterested in the support of newspapers are not being straight with people.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) As Scots - like everyone else - we live in an increasingly inter-connected world that demands shared solutions to shared problems. Walking away from others have never been our way. Walking with others has been our heritage and still represents our best future.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) Obama better understood community organisation and peer-to-peer communication than any recent candidate, and we are applying that lesson.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) When I joined Labour in 1982, I didn’t feel I belonged to a party born to power. My repeated experience was of bitter and repeated defeats.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes) It seems to me that the Conservatives neither recognise the scale of the living standards crisis facing British families nor offer credible answers as to how the British economy or British society can be better in the future.  (Douglas Alexander Quotes)
