“Yes we can be pretty tough and test and challenge our leaders – perhaps more than some other countries – but that is something we should be proud of, and we should keep at it. And I hope you will all keep at it, and I will will you on as you do. The last thing I would say, is that you can achieve a lot of things in politics, you can get a lot of things done, and that, in the end – the public service, the national interest – that is what it is all about. Nothing is really impossible if you put your mind to it. After all, as I once said – I was the future once.” 

Farewell, Prime Minister…
