How will Labour deal with real life?

Article Abstract:

There is a strong expectation of change in the UK following the recent general election victory by the Labour party. However, it is important to realize that the new Labour government will bring only modest changes to the lives of ordinary people. More attention should be given to the way in which it deals with global forces for change, such as the increasing power of global finance, changes taking place in the world labour market and the ageing of the population in developed countries. These factors will influence people's lives much more than politics ever will.

A better society and lower public spending

Article Abstract:

The UK Conservative and Labour parties are both becoming increasing aware that ordinary voters are opposed to the idea of big government. For this reason, the concept of small government is becoming increasingly important. It has been widely assumed that small government is a trend supported only by parties of the right, but this is no longer the case. New approaches in the Labour party mean that a government of the left could also introduce small government and cut levels of public spending.

Businessmen: New Labour's unlikely heroes

Article Abstract:

The UK's new Labour government has given clear indications that it intends to benefit from the expertise of business leaders. Chancellor Gordon Brown has announced the creation of business-led task forces, and it is even possible that the government will allow business to become involved in policy-making. The government is aware that business people are becoming increasingly powerful, especially as commercial procedures are being adopted in the public sector.
