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 Register was 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 of The 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 organized with Labour in the City and the Labour Finance and Industry Group Savers have little faith in private pensions companies and the government has done nothing to restore public confidence. Many of the industry's pensions are excessively costly, creating value for financial intermediaries rather than savers. How can Labour reform the pensions system to work for savers. Tuesday 19 March The One Nation Labour Debate: Labour and the new era in politics 6pm 7.30pm Committee Room 10 Speakers: Vernon Bogdanor (Research Professor, Kings College London) Respondents. Wayne David (Shadow Minister Political and Constitutional Reform) , Stella Creasey MP Chair: Martin Kettle (The Guardian) If you would like to attend please contact http://labourandthenewera.eventbrite.com/ 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 the 1980s 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
14

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.

Wednesday 20 March One Nation Labour Modernisation. A Series of Three Debates First Debate. How do we create a good society? 6pm-7.30pm Committee Room 11 Speakers: Jon Cruddas MP, Andrew Simms (New Economics Foundation and Author of Cancel the Apocalypse: the new path to prosperity) Chair: Ruth Davis, ( Greenpeace) If you would like to attend please register at http://action.compassonline.org.uk/page/event/detail/event/jr3 Labour Policy Review organized with Compass and Progress New Labour modernisation was about harnessing the market to innovate and create efficiencies. The market model, amongst others, was used to reform public services and the state. In a series of three debates the Policy Review asks what kind of modernisation should One Nation Labour pursue in the years ahead in order to rebuild the economy, conserve the environment, reform public services and democratise the state. Two further debates in April and May.

Tuesday April 16 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 exercising power 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 whilst understanding and being willing to take part in more formal political procedures (participation in political campaigns, political parties and voting).
