The Just Third Way, fourth in a ten-part series on Global Constructs
On the one hand there is capitalism, an economic system governed by market forces but where economic power is concentrated in the hands of a few who own or control productive capital.

Labour’s Great Britain: Remodeling Westminster
The United Kingdom, Europe’s oldest democracy, is going through a serious process of institutional transition. Devolution towards the new regional parliaments in Scotland and Wales is one significant aspect of the changes. The turn of a centuries-old tradition of centralism shows, however, the determination of Tony Blair’s governing Labour Party to reform the very heart of British politics. Many other projects are yet underway, such as a reform of the House of Lords and of the electoral system. Many of the new concepts, such as people’s sovereignty, federalism and proportional rule, have swapped over to Britain from the Continent, especially through the influence exercised by the EU-integration. Many of the reforms planned by Labour are therefore moving the British democracy closer to its counterparts on the Continent. Thus, the world’s first and unique model of parliamentary democracy could soon lose many of its former peculiarities. All together these changes are going to transform almost any aspect of the British political tradition as we knew it, with the risk to jeopardize even the unique stability, pragmatism and efficiency that has always distinguished the Westminster model.
