SHARING IS CARING

The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party.

It believes that, by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create, for each of us, the means to realise our true potential, and, for all of us, a community in which power, wealth, and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few.

From “What Every Engineer Should Know About Career Management”, by Mike Ficco
