A JUST SOCIETY, which judges its strength bythe condition of the weak as much as thestrong, provides security against fear, andjustice at work; which nurtures families,promotes equality of opportunity, anddelivers people from the tyranny of poverty,prejudice and the abuse of powerC. AN OPEN DEMOCRACY, in which governmentis held to account by the people, decisions aretaken as far as practicable by the communitiesthey affect and where fundamental humanrights are guaranteedPage 3
