Left behind?

Article Abstract:

The new-style Labour party has placed itself in a position where it must express views on equality, even though this is a sensitive issue which can be interpreted in many different ways, often leaving voters confused. The party has radically altered its views on social justice and on capitalism, and now argues that everyone should have an active stake in the community. Party leader Tony Blair has been emphasising personal responsibility, which some observers have regarded as a rather tough approach.

Why the cascade of wealth has dried up

Article Abstract:

Prime minister John Major has presented a vision of wealth being passed down from one generation to the next, ensuring that families build up financial independence. However, the number of houses being inherited has not risen for many years, even though more than half of those aged over 70 now own their own homes. This is because the cost of long-term care means that the elderly have used up all their assets before they die. People are living longer, and may need professional care for many years.

What's the big idea Tony?

Article Abstract:

The stakeholder approach to economic management has received considerable attention since it was launched recently by the Labour party. Party leader Tony Blair has hailed it as a unifying theme for the party's policies, but most people remain uncertain about what it actually means. Most of the ideas it embraces are not new, but the Labour party hopes that the stakeholder concept will introduce greater coherence to present themes and policies.
