About this Quote
This quote by Shirley Williams recommends that the character of the political party has changed considerably, and that it will take something extraordinary to encourage the celebration that there is a chance of recovering the public's trust. Williams implies that the celebration needs to make an extreme modification in order to regain the general public's confidence. This might suggest that the celebration needs to make a bold relocation, such as presenting new policies or altering its leadership. It could likewise indicate that the party must take a stand on certain concerns and demonstrate that it wants to make a distinction. Whatever the case, Williams is suggesting that the party must do something out of the ordinary in order to recover the general public's trust.
