A Centre-Left Project for New Times present a distinctive political strategy which sets out how left-of-centre parties can turn the tide of stagnation and attain a new vibrancy and radicalism.

The centre-left faces a public policy trilemma. It must respond adequately to the economic crisis to be seen as competent, itmust address the established themes in public opinion to be electable, and itmust develop generous and inclusive policies, to be progressive.

Patrick Diamond and Michael Kenny strongly urge the Labour Partyto adopt a more realist, long-term and coalition-building political strategy if they are to succeed at the next general election.

This pamphlet is the sequel, one year on, to Southern Discomfort Again, a study which sought to address the crippling weakness that Labour now faces in Southern England after its catastrophic 2010 election defeat.

The purpose of this Policy Network study, a sequel to the Southern Discomfort series carried out after the 1992 general election defeat, is to address the crippling weakness that Labour faces in Southern England following the 2010 defeat.
