“If you look at where most of the money goes it goes to agricultural subsidies which is totally bizzare. 35% of the budget goes to 2% of the population.”
“The EU has turned into a big cash machine where the major achievements of politicians is to pull out as much money as they can. Like an ATM.”
“The only way people are willing to tighten their belts and to make sacrifices is if they see light at the end of the tunnel.”
“The first problem of women is most of them don’t even enter politics.”
“Women are going to be judged differently. If I am very persistant then I will get called a bitch. That is something you have to deal with.”
“Where they afraid of you?” – “Obviously not enough because then I would be a prime minster now.”
“It is too lazy to say I vote every four years and I complain in between.”
“Some people seem to think that if you privatise that is somehow anti social. Well, I think it is anti social to use public money to subsidize badly run companies and to bail out managers who should be fired.”
