The Politics of Solutions

Miliband statesmanlike on Syria
Not a stellar PMQs from anyone this week and in general more noise than light. It began raucously enough with a Labour question on A&E and a Tory one about a referendum on Europe. Things then calmed down as Ed used his first three questions to press the Prime Minister on the vitally important issue …

A Brexit for workplace rights?
Instead of focusing on the issues that matter, the Conservative party is again descending into one of its periodic bouts of Europhobic obsession, as evidenced yet again today with their site Let Britain Decide.

Why 1983 is still important today

Letter from … Ottawa
Canadian politics could be in for a change, as we now have three parties with strong leaders. Once again. Or so it seems. The venerable Liberal party, which got quite a drubbing in May 2011’s general election, has elected a dynamic and charismatic leader, 41-year-old Justin Trudeau, the son of the popular, albeit controversial, Pierre …
