Never before have the electors shown clearly their desire that there should be in this country a Labour Government carrying out Labour's full policy.

I am certain that this election has been one in which the electors have thought deeply on the fundamental question of the future, and they realise that Labour is the Party of the future, and that Labour's policy is the only policy that can lead us to peace abroad and social justice at home. The Labour Party's great victory shows that the country is ready for a new policy to face new world conditions. That it believes that Labour has the right policy, and also has the men to carry it out".
