It was important to recognise the opinion of the people and to try and fulfil it, especially between 1933 and 1937, because of the general election of 1935. The National Government announced plans of avoiding war and rearmament benefits; meanwhile, details of the Hoare-Laval Pact were being agreed between Britain and France. The major issues that the public were concerned with over the election was the promise of peace, the continuing problem of unemployment, and the role of the League of Nations. When details of the Pact were released by the press, the public were outraged, and the Labour Party claimed if the reports in the press of the contents of the Pact were true, then the government was contradicting the pro-League policy it had just won the election on.

He opens his piece with the saying “That government is best which governs least,” and he speaks in favor of government that does not interfere with men's lives.
