Blue Labour

From Lolitics Wiki

Blue Labour is a political ideology, touted as a possible successor to New Labour. It stresses "faith, family and the flag". It is notable for taking a tough stance on crime and immigration, strong local government, and promoting heavy regulation of the financial sector. It is most closely associated with Maurice Glasman, and Ed Miliband has been trying on his Blue Labour hat, though it has come under attack from political commentators and particularly harsh criticism from Peter Mandelson.

It is widely believed that it would do Ed a lot of good to take the hat off now.
