Norman Lamont citáty a výroky

„Musíte mít kontrolu nad svou vlastní ekonomikou prostřednictvím svých vlastních úrokových sazeb. Euro, které se používalo k mezibankovním operacím už od roku 1999, přispělo k recesi v Německu tím, že německé úrokové sazby byly příliš vysoké. Různé ekonomiky mají různé potřeby, které se nedají navzájem uspokojit prostřednictvím jedné jediné úrokové sazby a jedné jediné centrální banky.“

“As a result of uncertainties caused by the French referendum, massive speculative flows have continued to disrupt the functioning of the exchange rate mechanism. As Chairman of Ecofin I have tonight called an urgent meeting of the EC's monetary committee to consider how stability might be restored to the markets over the next few days.
In the meantime the Government has decided that Britain's best interests would be best secured by suspending our membership of the ERM with immediate effect. As a result, the second of the two interest rate rises announced today will not take effect.”

“There is something wrong with the way in which we make our decisions. The Government listen too much to the pollsters and the party managers. The trouble is that they are not even very good at politics, and they are entering too much into policy decisions. As a result, there is too much short-termism, too much reacting to events, and not enough shaping of events. We give the impression of being in office but not in power.”
