  • Labour's Next Majority Means Winning Over Conservative Voters but They Are Not Likely to Be the Dominant Source of The
    LABOUR’S NEXT MAJORITY THE 40% STRATEGY Marcus Roberts LABOUR’S The 40% There will be voters who go to the polls on 6th May 2015 who weren’t alive strategy when Tony and Cherie Blair posed outside 10 Downing Street on 1st May NEXT 1997. They will have no memory of an event which is a moment of history as distant from them as Margaret Thatcher’s 1979 election victory was for the voters of 1997. If Ed Miliband seeks to emulate what Blair did in 1997, he too must build his own political majority for the era in which he seeks to govern. MAJORITY This report sets out a plausible strategy for Labour’s next majority, one that is secured through winning 40 per cent of the popular vote in May 2015, despite the challenges of a fragmenting electorate. It also challenges the Marcus Roberts party at all levels to recognise that the 40 per cent strategy for a clear majority in 2015 will require a different winning formula to that which served New Labour so well a generation ago, but which is past its sell-by date in a different political and economic era. A FABIAN REPORT ISBN 978 0 7163 7004 8 ABOUT THE FABIAN SOCIETY The Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank. Since 1884 the society has played a central role in developing political ideas and public policy on the left. It aims to promote greater equality of wealth, power and opportunity; the value of collective public action; a vibrant, tolerant and accountable democracy; citizenship, liberty and human rights; sustainable development; and multilateral international cooperation.

  • A Postliberal Future?
    A POSTLIBERAL FUTURE? By David Goodhart 1 INTRODUCTION Britain is a good country. One of the best places in the world to live. But it also, of course, has many failings. Some of these are deeply embedded in our history and institutions. Others are of more recent parentage and easier—or at least possible—to rectify through political action. In this essay I want to argue that this task of changing the country for the better would be made easier if a certain cluster of ideas—what is sometimes called postliberalism—held greater sway in the political nation. The word/phrase is a clunky one and there may be better alternatives: ‘one nation liberalism’ is one candidate or, more polemically, ‘liberalism for actually existing people’. But postliberalism seeks to acknowledge the achievements and ascendancy of liberalism in recent decades while also capturing a sense of moving beyond it, of maturing into something more robust that can address concerns that are neglected by, indeed sometimes exacerbated by, mainstream liberalism. Postliberalism is not a policy or political programme, it is more like an ideology or worldview—it tells a story about what Britain looks like today, where it has gone wrong and the attitudes, assumptions and principles that should guide reformers. It also has a view of human nature that aims to capture people in their messy reality rather than reduce them to a single, dominant drive such as self-interest or a desire for autonomy. People are competitive and co-operative, selfish and altruistic. They are in the main neither strivers nor shirkers and generally flourish in secure, settled lives surrounded by love and recognition and with useful, purposeful activity to occupy them.

It documents the model of community organising developed by Movement for Change (M4C), the application of this model within the Labour Party, and the impact of this model on the Labour Party’s relationship to civil society.

  • Whacking Bush Final
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository 1 Whacking Bush: Tactical Media as Play Graham Meikle 'The great archetypal activities of human society are all permeated with play from the start' (Johan Huizinga) 'Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?' (George W. Bush) Introduction — Bushwhacked? In 2003, US President George W. Bush's State of the Union speech staked out some distinctive positions: Mr Speaker, Vice-President Cheney, members of Congress, distinguished citizens and fellow citizens. Every year, by law and by custom, we meet here to threaten the world. The American flag stands for corporate scandals, recession, stock market declines, blackmail, terror, burning with hot irons, dripping acid on the skin, mutilation with electric drills, cutting out tongues, and rape. Our first goal is to show utter contempt for the environment... And this year, for the first time, we must offer every child in America three nuclear missiles... Secretary of State Powell will plant information to incite fear about Iraq's links to terrorist groups. And tonight I have a message for the people of Iraq — go home and die. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of the United States is not a strategy and it is not an option. 2 Anyone reading a book about tactical media may well be familiar with the four-minute video from which this is extracted, 'Bushwhacked', which circulated widely online in 2004.1 Created by UK satirist Chris Morris, the 'Bushwhacked' video was assembled from footage of Bush's actual State of the Union speech, cut with audio samples from this and other speeches, and remixed to create an arresting new hybrid.

It first surveys the views of members of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) and key advisors to Miliband on One Nation, with a focus on the debates surrounding its purpose and substance. What becomes clear is the amount of confusion amongst backbenchers and shadow cabinet members of the PLP regarding its purpose.
