Blair's voters in Versace

Article Abstract:

Young people who have come from a modest, Labour-supporting background and have later made money of their own have traditionally voted for the Conservative party, which they have regarded as offering the best prospects for further improvement of their situation. However, the Labour party believes that it is now attracting people of this kind. If this is the case, it represents a success for the party's attempts to promote itself as non-socialist and enterprise-friendly.

Article Abstract:

Digital technology is certainly developing extremely quickly, and even the most informed technocrats are unable to accurately predict where it will really lead. However, there is also a lot of hype associated with developments in digital technology, and it is misguided to predict that virtual communities will be established on the Net, for example. Technocrats believe that everyone should completely forget the past, but this is not really the best way forward.
