Labour Policy Review events: Phase 1.

On Tuesday 18 June, 50 people met to discuss Policy Making in Government

and Opposition. Nick Pearce, James OShaugnessy and Polly Mackenzie

assessed their experience running policy processes in and out of government.

This brought to a conclusion the events associated with the first phase of

Labours policy review. This is a summary of the first 9 months of events and

activities that ran alongside the policy development work of the three shadow

cabinet groups on economy, society and politics.

Events

In the last 9 months the Policy Review has run over 40 debates and panel

discussions. A conference was organised in April with Queen Mary, University

of London, Bristol University, Labour List and Political Quarterly. An online

debate was organised on Labour List between 12 November 18 November

with over 40 contributors . A selection was published in an ebook,One Nation

Labour Debating the Future.

The One Nation Registerwas set up to communicate ideas and to promote

events. We started with 400 subscribers and have now reached 1000. It goes

out twice a month to all MPs, Peers, policy advisers and party workers. 18

articles have been published as well as links added to many more published on

other sites.

Tim Soutphommasane, author ofThe Virtuous Citizen came over from Australia

and academic Danielle Allen from the US to participate in the policy review

and their involvement was reported in profiles in the New Statesman. The

review also hosted Carlos Saavedra, National Field Coordinator of United we

Dream in the U.S.

Events roughly divided into two types. There were larger debates and panel

discussions on politics usually involving 60-150 attendees. For example there

was a series of three debates on One Nation Labour modernisation, a keynote

speech on A New Care Covenant by Liz Kendall, and two One Nation Labour

Lectures by David Blunkett and Vernon Bogdanor. The other type was the

smaller policy focused discussions with invited participants usually experts in

the field and numbering 30-50.

A large number of the events were organised with Labour organisations and

associated bodies :the Cooperative Party, Progress, TULO, Labour Womens

Network, the Labour Business network, The Fabians, Demos, IPPR, Soundings

journal, Compass, Labour, Finance and Industry Group, Labour in the City, the

Smith Institute, as well as with outside organisations such as Supporters Direct,

Coalition to End Violence Against Women, and Hope not Hate.

Over the previous year hundreds have attended events. Despite being

Westminster-centric people have come from all over the country. The

Conference also brought in a wider academic audience, with the papers to be

published in a special issue of Political Quarterly this Autumn.

Labour Policy Review organised with Progress

Until recently, social democracy seemed a doctrine that had had its day. The

task of the Labour Party, so it appeared, was to accommodate itself to an

agenda set by its opponents, by the Conservative governments of the 1980s

and 1990s which emphasised the philosophy of the market. Perhaps Labour

accommodated itself too well to this philosophy.

In 2007, however, this philosophy collapsed. If the political problems of the1980s arose from too much state regulation, those of the first decade of the

21st century arose from too little regulation, and, in particular, too little

regulation of the financial sector.

The crisis of 2007 should have given rise to a social democratic moment. For it

contradicted two of the central tenets of Thatcherism. The first was that, if

only the state stood out of the way, all would benefit. The second was that

there would be a trickle-down effect so that, as the rich got richer, so also

would the poor. That philosophy has come crashing to the ground. The


15/25

15

alternative philosophy must stress how much we need government to control

social and economic processes. Few have a good word for the state, but unless

we are to be at the mercy of the market, we cannot do without it.

The One Nation Labour Debate: From Collective Bargaining to Mutual Action

6pm 7.20pm

Committee Room 16

Speaker: David Blunkett MP

Respondents: Jon Wilson (King College London), Nita Clarke (Director of the

Involvement and Participation Association )

Chair: Chris Weavers (Unions 21)

If you would like to attend please contact

http://mutualaction.eventbrite.com/

Labour Policy Review organised with Progress

The debate will explore how policy development and the reengagement of

voters with the political system go hand in hand. Collective bargaining was the

expression of combined power of individuals in defence of their rights and

living standards. It was the promotion of a balance between those exercisingpower and those over who power was being exercised.

Today, the world is a very different place, but the use of mutual action

underpinned and supported by more formal political institutions and

processes, can achieve outstanding results. Government would adopt a new

proactive role in supporting people to take action themselves, to come

together (including using social media) to promote and defend their interests.

This would ensure that people were engaged in the political process whilstunderstanding and being willing to take part in more formal political

procedures (participation in political campaigns, political parties and voting).
