So the responsibility is on our shoulders.
And there was a comment that was made at our conference last year by 83-year-old Preston Manning.
Preston Manning founded the Reform Party in Canada.
He was my inspiration for calling this reform.
You know, they became the biggest party in Canada.
They finished up in government for 10 years and did a really, really great job.
And when Preston was asked, how did you go from being non-existent up against an established Conservative Party...
and Labour opposition, how did you go from being nothing to taking control of a country and running it for 10 years?
And the answer he gave is an answer I want you all to think about at times of difference, at times of disagreement, at times of stress.
You know, place 45 people in Thurrock together in one room, not everyone's going to agree.
They're not.
It's literally impossible.
We're human beings.
We argue with our friends, our family.
We all disagree.
But what Manning said is something I want you all to bear in mind.
He said, we got to the top and we won and we succeeded because we had our disagreements in private and not in public.
All right?
So, please, please heed my advice on that.
There are times when it's better to bite your tongue
