New Labour

This website takes as its baseline for Labour Party policy before New Labour the statements and conference decisions of 1992-4 when John Smith was leader. It takes 25 policy areas and allows 3-way comparison of the Tories, what Old Labour was offering and what New Labour actually delivered.
The Pledges have been graded as follows:

Key:
Pledge carried out = Pledge carried out
Pledge partially carried out = Pledge partially carried out
Left as under the Conservatives = Left as under the Conservatives
Shift to right = Policy shift to right of old Conservatives
? = We need more information on the outcome of this pledge. Can you help?
