The real problem is that there was really no new paradigm ready to take over from the intellectual collapse of neoclassical economics. Old paradigms (say, Marxism, even Keynesianism) don't usually come back from the ashes of intellectual collapse (1989 and the 1970's stagflation, respectively). En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
So far the LibDems seem to be campaigning on being "different". I think they might try focus-grouping the word "modern" instead. Modern, and perhaps, "reasonable". You could contrast that with "worn-out Labour policies" and "irresponsible Tory ideas".
Like I do not have enough to do. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
