It's about trying to find that combination of a growing economy and a better society and a quality environment and freedom from crime. That's the "what" that we're trying to achieve. And the "how" we're going to achieve it is social responsibility, not state control, but giving more power to individuals and families and to professionals in the health service and in education and to local government - so what...
