Angela Harvey was on the campaign trail talking to Labour members and supporters. She focused on three elements of her platform for a Strong Social Britian:

• a Wage Ratio Cap that will ensure every worker gets a fair pay. She accused the Tories of introducing a culture of selfish individualism and corporate profiteering in which the hard work of employees was not awarded as it should be, but instead given out to those at the top of the corporate pyramid. Instead, Angela's work will focus on working out a Wage Ratio Cap within a business, that will make work pay.
  
• a new Price Commission with powers to monitor and exercise control over prices. The ever-increasing corporate profit subsidised by Tory tax cuts has meant that ordinary British consumers are ripped off without any justifiable reason for skyrocket-high prices. Angela promises to formulate a policy for price monitoring and control by means of a Price Commission that will work in the interests of ordinary consumers.
  
• Give constituency Labour parties a greater say and greater engagement with Labour MPs. Angela Harvey argues that the Labour movement is based on the fundamental principles of a strong united proletariat. To represent the voice of ordinary people, of the needy, the vulnerable and the working class was the reason the Labour party was created. As we approach the new millennium, Angela pledges to preserve current and find new ways to spread right across every level of the party.
