Power to the people must be our aim

Article Abstract:

Political developments in the UK over recent years have left ordinary people feeling that politics is very remote and that politicians never discuss issues which are of most concern to ordinary people. The Labour party is well aware of the need to change the government if the country's fortunes are to be revive, but also acknowledges that it will be necessary to change the political structure to give ordinary people a greater say in political developments. Politicians should be seen as serving the public, and must be prepared to take ordinary people's views into account.

New politics for the new century

Article Abstract:

The progressive centre-left in the UK and other countries is establishing a new politics which can best be described as the 'Third Way.' Those who follow this new form of politics are firmly committed to social justice, but are also prepared to be flexible and innovative in how they bring about social justice. The Third Way is based on traditional values in a changed world, and represents a wide-reaching reappraisal of social democracy. People can only reach their full potential as individuals if they are part of a flourishing civil society.
