Quote of the Week: John Kay

"Public  opinion, well briefed and properly marshalled, is a decisive force in public policy. But since there are many issues in public debate, attention to any one is necessarily transient. The attention of vested interests to their own concerns, however, is permanent."


-- John Kay, Don’t listen to the lobbyists: they never go away, Financial Times, September 21, 2011
