Blue Labour

Below is a link to the Guardian.

I have a feeling that this is a seminal document for the Labour Party and the beginning of a shift in the political tectonic plates. 

I doubt if it will be attractive to all Liberal Democrats as it is certainly 'conservative' as distinct from 'progressive'. I consider the word 'progressive' as in progressive policies' fatuous.

Blue Labour thinking has major supporters within the Labour Party, none more so than Jon Cruddas and Professor Jonathan Rutherford.  The ideas within the document will strike a chord with Labour moderates of the pre -New Labour era
