The Labour years: out of the wilderness
25th September 2010
If you are studying UK issues or want an overview of what the Labaour government delivered in policy terms in their 13 years of power if you are new to UK political parties, then this excellent piece from today’s Guardian should fill that gap.
With Labour leaderless at least until later today, it is an extremely useful starting point when tackling party politics. Can help support answers to questions such as:
Is New Labour different from Old Labour? To what extent is Labour still committed socialism? Does Labour maintain its traditional goals, but look to secure them via different means? To what extent are labour and the Tories different? What was the Labour government’s approach to education/health/the economy/tackling poverty?
See it here - I’ll say it again, it is one to file for future reference.
