I seriously think the greatest challenge facing us is to devise an electoral system that results in the sort of people who run Home-Start Schemes being elected. Just imagine what kind of world it would be if it were run by people who know the fundamental importance of meeting the needs of children. The work Home-Start does is not just important because it helps parents: even more important, many of its members are truly exemplary to the rest of us.
