Many
people will be shocked by Donald Trump’s
victory in the US presidential election and his nasty and divisive campaign.
Trump’s election is our latest
global wake up call.
We need a real alternative to a failed political and
economic system.
His victory is an unmistakable
rejection of a system that simply isn’t working for most people.
It has given us escalating
inequality and falling living standards.
In both the United States and Britain
too many people have been left behind.
In both countries, people feel angry that their communities
have been abandoned, at the lack of investment and job opportunities for young
people.
It’s a message we’ve got to heed.
It’s a message we’ve got to heed.
Many of Trump’s solutions, and
the divisive rhetoric around them, are clearly wrong.
We need leaders who do
not abuse women, or use racist rhetoric, and who do not pit one group of people
against another.
Donald Trump won by a narrow
margin, leaving voters across America divided.
He’s now got to bring people together.
I have no doubt that the decency
and common sense of the American people will prevail, and we send our
solidarity to a nation of migrants, innovators and democrats.
This truth applies
as much in Europe as in the US.
The real alternative to the failed politics of business
as usual will be achieved by working together, social justice and economic
renewal, rather than sowing fear and division.
The solutions we offer have to
improve the lives of everyone, not set people against another.
Americans have made their choice.
The urgent necessity is now for us all to work across continents to tackle our
shared global challenges: to secure peace, take action on climate change and
deliver economic prosperity and justice.
