Oliver Letwin

• Conservatism Abandoned

In his first parliamentary encounter with Tony Blair, the new Tory leader criticized the Prime Minister for not pressing hard enough for a successor to the Kyoto treaty on climate change, which would enforce a new set of rigid targets for carbon emissions. Since the Tories also argue that the country is running a large structural budget deficit, they risk being trapped into plans for substantial tax increases at the next election. The party is backing away from welfare reform and from fiscal measures to strengthen families.

The country need people to spend money - buy cars and other "big ticket" items - to keep the wheels of the economy running smoothly. But very few can whack down fifteen grand or so on a new motor. So they borrow. And repay the debt on a monthly basis. That's how it works, and that is how it will continue to work - the "buy now, pay later" culture is here to stay. And the credit industry plays a central and tremendously important role in helping to maintain and stabilise what appears to be a pretty robust economy. There will be pockets of resistance by those who think the lenders charge too much, and make too much profit. But that is not going to stop people borrowing, so long as they think they can afford to repay.

• Privatization and political theory.

Privatization as an economic policy is extremely popular worldwide. Studying it helps political scientists assess the value of liberal, marxist and neo-institutionalist theories of state growth, because privatization is assumed to be the opposite of the enlargement of state function. These theories all fail to fully explain privatization. Liberalism does not explain its global popularity. Marxism cannot account for it in formerly communist countries, such as Russia. Neo-institutionalism regards the state itself as an independent variable and so cannot explain changes in state size.

• Labor's Posters Upset Jews ; Images Seen As Anti-Semitic

British Prime Minister Tony Blair's ruling Labor Party, seeking to get its general election campaign off with a bang, appears instead to have misfired over a pair of posters that have outraged Jewish groups. Critics say one of the posters depicts opposition Conservative Party leader Michael Howard, a Jew, as a character resembling Charles Dickens' Jewish pickpocket Fagin in "Oliver Twist," or the villainous Shylock in Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice." Mr. Howard is shown swinging a pocket watch in hypnotic fashion and saying, "I can spend the same money twice.
