(9) Liberal Democrats and Labour have
they moved away from their principle?
Liberal Democrats
The liberal Democrats have clearly associates with liberalism, their liberalism encompasses
both a classical liberal belief in minimal state and the free market and a modern liberal
belief in social and economic intervention that sometime resemble social democracy
Fused ideology orientated around the
individual and freedom with on that
traditionally favour equality and social justice
Breaking the political mould by providing a centrist
alternative however Lib Dem are more centre left party
due to Labour liberal party "progressive alliance".
Indeed 1997, Labour power continued to
move to the centre- ground, some in Lib
Dems sought to out flank Labour on the left
Reflected commitment to increase tax by one penny in the pound
in order to better fund education and abolish tuition fees for
university students, as well as in opposition to the 2003 Iraq War
The liberal Democrats were shifting
more to the right with growing support
for free-market economic strategy
Clegg was elected leader (part of the centre-right wing), apart from plan to
increase income tax which was drop (endorested by the centre-right wing),
they failed to have much influence over the party policy for 2010 GE
During the 2010 campaign the Lib Dem's advocated a broadly
Keynesian approach to the budget deficit, Lib Dem's warned of
a"double-dip" recession with Conservative robusted spending cuts
Con and Lib Dem may have moved closer to
one another as the GE approached, but they
still represent competing political traditions
A variety of "wedge" issues therefore
persist, having the potential to
destabilize the coalition.

Labour
Labour Ideas and policy under Ed
miliband have been understood in
context to the Brown government
Brown re-capitailisted the UK's bankign system by
pumping £37 billion of taxpayers money into HBOS, RBS
and Lloyds TSB, which were each part-nationalized
Interest rates were reduced
virtually zero in what came to
be called "monetary stimulus"
most controversially was a reliance
on "fiscal stimulus". The last policy
was dictated by Keynesian thinking.
The use of nationalization as a political tool,
encouraged some to argue that New Labour was on the
wane as Old Labour ideas and policies was returning
Nationalization was in all cases used
reluctantly and only a temporary device
Brown's government also practised
neo-Keynesianism, it recognized that the budget
deficit could not simply be allowed to sure it self
2010 manifesto thus contained proposed tax
increases and spending cuts in 2011-12 aim
to half the budget by end of parliament
Ed Miliband announces that "new
Labour was dead" meaning a
shift way from New Labour
Challenge for Ed was to establish an
alterntive programe with out labour
being attavk as "deficit deniers"
Labour positions was that the coalition
have gone too far and too fast on cuts
A particular criticism leveled at the
coalition has been that its strategy views
budget cuts as a panacea in themselves
Milliband alternatives to this appears to be an emphasis
on restructuring the economy to reduce its dependence on
finance and to expand its manufacturing base
