		<description><![CDATA[
The Georgian recipe for &#8220;an amazing transformation&#8221;:

Low and flat taxes
Legislative commitment to reducing the government&#8217;s fiscal footprint (IE spend less!)
Deregulation and cutting red tape
And thereby suppressing corruption
Unilateral free trade: no import tariffs or barriers of any kind
Very flexible labour legislation
No sector or industrial policy of any kind
No subsidies, no preferences, no exemptions &#8211; no market-distorting ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just spent a most enjoyable and productive evening with South Bucks National Farmers&#8217; Union, which followed a recent visit to a local farm.
In particular, we discussed NFU President Peter Kendall&#8217;s speech, &#8220;Delivering Farming&#8217;s Future&#8221;. He repeated a point made by Norman Borlaug, a Nobel laureate and great agricultural scientist,  that:

In the first place, Labour plan their own substantial cuts. More to the point, Labour&#8217;s spending was funded not by sustainable prosperity, ]]></description>

It is an appeal to embrace the dynamism of life and overcome our fears for the future. It is about real progress, not state-driven, top-down control.
