progressive

There is much good thinking being done at present outside the Labour Party - by the Compass group, by Richard Reeves and James Purnell at Demos, by Phillip Blond at ResPublica and by some Liberal Democrats, as well as in the left-liberal blogosphere, notably by Will Straw of Left Foot Forward and Sunder Katwala of Next Left. So, as we enter an election year, we shall continue to encourage progressive politicians of all parties, and none, to unite around a common programme of protecting public services, democratising parliament, bolstering civil liberties and reining in financial excess.
