Third Way politics seeks a new balance of economic dynamism and social security, a new social compact based on individual rights and responsibilities, and a new model for governing that equips citizens and communities to solve their own problems. (More about the Third Way...)

    Long Live New Labour
    By Robert Philpot
    After nearly a decade as Britain's prime minister, Tony Blair is ready to pass the baton. Contrary to the beliefs of some, likely successor Gordon Brown is no lefty. He will continue modernizing and reforming the party.

    Barbaric Ideas
    By Tony Blair
    Nine days after the July 7 terrorist bombings in London, Prime Minister Tony Blair told the British people that they must confront the "evil ideology" that generated the attacks -- not only the barbaric deeds of the killers but their ideas as well.

    Blair's Accomplishment
    The May 5 election could hardly have come at a worse time for Labour. That they still managed to comfortably win is a testament to the underlying strength Tony Blair has bestowed to his party.

    Letter from Amsterdam
    By Fred Siegel
    You don't have to go there to know that Holland is gripped by growing fear of Islamic extremism. More surprising was what I learned on a recent visit to this famously easy-going city: the Dutch response to the Islamists increasingly is tied up in a larger critique of European welfare statism.

    The Right Fight
    By Al From and Bruce Reed

    No Reverse Gear
    By Robert Philpot
    Most of them seem to share Blair's ambition that Labour become, over the long term, the party of government, not just of opposition. And if Blair's reforms continue, it may happen.

    The New Democrats' Declaration
    Two hundred twenty-seven years ago, democratic insurgents and reformers came to Philadelphia to forge a new country that would forever change the course of human events. Now, at the dawn of what ought to be America's greatest century, too many of our country's leaders are trying to leave behind the values and aspirations that have made America great. If we continue on the present course, the promise of America will never be the same.

    Prime Minister's Speech to Congress

    Blair's Right Stuff
    By Robert Philpot
    Tony Blair stood fast when others were wobbling, and his brilliant speech won the British Parliament's approval for the war in Iraq. Now the question is whether his steadfastness will cost him his job.

    Listen to Blair
    No one should dictate U.S. policy towards post-war Iraq, the Middle East, or for that matter, Northern Ireland. But Tony Blair has richly earned the right to speak, and the right to be heard. President Bush should listen carefully to any advice he hears from this proven ally.

    A Modern Agenda for Prosperity and Social Reform
    By Gordon Brown
    "In almost every area of current controversy ... the question is, at root, what is the best relationship between individuals, markets and government to advance the public interest and whether it is possible to set aside, and indeed move beyond, the old sterile and debilitating conflicts of the past."
