Description[?]:
| Mr. Speaker, we believe that the ability to get around without having to pay if you are unable to pay is essential to a functioning and compassionate society. We believe also that certain areas where the provision of transport and postal services would be loss-making for a private company deserve those services no less than areas which, in terms of profitability, are nothing less than gold mines. Yuko Asukai MP DPP Chair |

| Random quote: "If democracy is ever to be threatened, it will not be by revolutionary groups burning government offices and occupying the broadcasting and newspaper offices of the world. It will come from disenchantment, cynicism and despair caused by the realization that the New World Order means we are all to be managed and not represented." - Tony Benn |
