I cam across this over at the Evatt Foundation in an article by Sol Encel. Encel says that an essay on '21st Century Citizenship', published by the think tank Demos, (I cannot find the essay) identified three basic values which should characterise a progressive party in tune with contemporary realities. These are:
"· to offer a basic level of security and social fairness which equips each individual to develop and contribute to his or her full potential;· to promote and enable forms of collective action which contribute to the overall vitality and fairness of society as a whole;
· to create countervailing institutions which limit the power of the state and the market, and align the energies of capitalist wealth production with human need."
