Ms. Jansen, I won't tell you how to vote, as that would be presumptuous of me, but I do want to once again reiterate that these norms.... I've been fascinated all my life by British history and the constitutional evolution, because my late father was a Brit. I've studied it. The idea of a budget goes back to the dawn of the Westminster parliamentary system. It goes literally all the way back, 500 or 600 years, to when they seized control from the Crown, who insisted on saying, “I'm in charge. You get lost. I'll do whatever I want.” They said, “No, no, no. In a democracy, you can't do that.”
It's a tool of accountability. It's not some bureaucratic rule that's arbitrary. It's a tool of accountability and it's used for decision-making. I mean, investors look at budgets. The credit rating agencies look at budgets. Professors do. Voters do. Journalists do. This is not some frivolous requirement. Any government should be willing to say, “Look, this is who we are. This is what we stand for. Here is our plan.”
