A bit too much of a prig and a prude

Article Abstract:

The Labour party's authoritarian tendencies have traditionally been focused in the public sphere and economic activity. However, there are now signs that New Labour is moving its authoritarian focus in a bid to attract new voters. This is particularly the case in dealing with family breakdown and law and order, two key areas of concern for voters. The party is trying to combine liberal and authoritarian views, and will never be successful with this approach.

Feminists must back fathers

Article Abstract:

Most men are still under great pressure to work very long hours, and this leaves them unable to meet family responsibilities. It is now time for them to rebel against this situation, emphasising that working long hours can be unproductive and have a negative impact on families. There is now a large amount of research which indicates that there are benefits for men, women and children when men play a more active role in the day-to-day lives of their children.
