IN 1983, the British Labour Party under the hard-left Michael Foot issued a 700-page manifesto so radical that one colleague called it "the longest suicide note in history." House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan has just released a recklessly bold, 73- page, 10-year budget plan. At 37 footnotes, it might be the most annotated suicide note in history. That depends on whether (a) President Barack Obama counters with a deficit-reduction plan of equal seriousness, rather than just demagoguing the Ryan plan till next Election Day, (b) there are any Republicans beyond the measured, super-wonky Ryan who can explain and defend a plan of such daunting scope and complexity, and (c) Americans are serious people.
The March 10 report from the U.K. Parliament Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport turned the spotlight on the state of public libraries in Great Britain. Although the introduction of new technology and Internet services prominently influenced public libraries in recent years, the committee focused on two major goals that it believes should be at the core of libraries' missions: promoting reading and advancing service standards. Since the committee's report was issued just before the May 5 British general election, it was worth scanning the major political parties' election manifestos to see where library and information issues ranked. The Labour Party manifesto pledged to develop a strategy for the modernization of libraries, which builds on the best, strengthens library leaders...
BRIGHTON, England -- Prime Minister Gordon Brown, seeking to stave off an expected election defeat, pledged Tuesday to restore trust in Britain's tarnished politics, kick start its stuttering economy and slash government debt. Brown sketched out a likely Labour Party manifesto as he announced a blizzard of populist policies that he hopes will boost the party's flagging ratings before a national election, which must by law be called by June.
I'M NOT yet through reading the manifesto of the Opposition Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). There is much meat in the 127-page document and I tend to chew slowly. However, from what I've seen, it is an outstanding attempt to find solutions to some of the pressing problems affecting this country. Only the most rabidly partisan among us would disagree. Perhaps yielding to some public criticism, the JLP has toned down its proposal for a fixed election date to what it now calls a fixed election period. I'm not sure how this new proposal will work and hope to hear some clarification from the party's leadership. There are several other important proposals on governance including term limits for the Prime Minister and constitutional restraints on the number of Cabinet ministries.

The occasion was last Monday's launch of the parry's manifesto, at the Jamaica Conference Centre, downtown Kingston. Speaking at the launch at the Jamaica Conference Centre, downtown Kingston, Mr. Golding told the gathering that the JLP would draft legislation to establish Jamaica as an offshore financial centre and to redevelop Port Royal as a cruise shipping destination. Commenting on the country's libel and slander laws, Mr. Golding said the JLP would amend this piece of legislation as it served as a 'firewall' to protect 'scoundrels' who t...

PUBLICATION OF the Jamaica Labour Party's (JLP) manifesto for the upcoming general election is a good beginning for what should be the real debate to be widened when the People's National Party (PNP) belatedly launches its own manifesto. Apart from that, there is a definite developmental orientation to the manifesto, which stresses the importance of the restoration of manufacturing but on more of a niche basis with higher value added. The JLP goes beyond this, for the cutting edge of their development strategy seems to be an emphasis on expanding business process outsourcing (BPO) in Jamaica as a major platform for speeding up economic development and creating more jobs. This is a highly important policy proposal, which we believe has real potential, although whether this needs a 'mega-...
