Far be it for me to say that this is the sort of budget  that conservatives ought to applaud because it is after all, a budget that is guided by a feeling  that councils should provide services and they should orientate their services to the least  communities, to be guided by equal opportunities and by  egalitarians and that's what this group has always stood for, this is the budget that we present tonight and I would hope that it would get a far better and far larger measure of support than perhaps of course been the case in the past.
