Abstract

The article offers information on the opening speech to a new Parliament by Queen Elizabeth II in Great Britain's House of Lords. It mentions that the Queen's speech, which was prepared by her new Prime Minister Harold Wilson, made way for the Britons to have a clue as to how Wilson and his Labor Party plan to rule and retain power while having only 301 out of 635 seats of the House of Commons. It mentions Wilson's proposals which include subsidizing basic foodstuffs, limiting food profit margins as well as urgent measures to deal with the country's housing crisis. It further discusses Wilson's seeking of fundamental renegotiation of the terms under which Great Britain entered the Common Market will also cause trouble for him.
