ResPublica's Director, Phillip Blond, Discusses The New Co-Operative Centre Ground On Newsnight
ResPublica's Director Phillip Blond appeared on BBC's Newsnight programme on Monday 15th February (click here to watch) to discuss Conservative leader David Cameron's radical new proposals to give public sector employees ownership of the services they deliver. As has been noted by many commentators already, this transformative approach was first outlined in ResPublica's flagship report, 'The Ownership State'.
In an earlier comment, Phillip Blond, ResPublica's Director, welcomed the Conservatives' adoption of these proposals,
'There now exists a broad consensus on extending employee ownership throughout the public sector, driven by ResPublica's ideas in 'The Ownership State.' The Labour Party have also embraced the rhetoric - we await the development of the detail - of what they refer to as 'the mutual moment.' An important new centre-ground is forming; an Ownership Debate that promises to help us create better public services more efficiently - and extend the beneficial effects of ownership throughout society.'

There now exists a broad consensus on extending employee ownership throughout the public sector, driven by ResPublica's ideas in 'The Ownership State.' The Conservatives have shown that they understand the innovative and radical potential of co-operative public sector ownership to transform for the better our struggling public services. The Labour Party have also embraced the rhetoric - we await the development of the detail - of what they refer to as 'the mutual moment.' An important new centre-ground is forming; an Ownership Debate that promises to help us create better public services more efficiently - and extend the beneficial effects of ownership throughout society.

Nice tweet on this from the redoubtable @samfr of the policy unit >> RT: 'watching @Phillip_Blond politely trounce @nextleft on #newsnight - the latter talking about 'the cuts agenda' (via @stevemoore4good)' - definitely worth watching
Yes, Phillip Blond did a good job against the other man. Well done.
The ownership debate is quite long now & yet no decisions have been made yet.Lets see what happens for the public sector employees.
