Devolution to different parts of the UK means that there are different policies to
reflect the particular needs and priorities of the nations of the Union.
Some of the policy areas covered in this document are matters that have been
devolved to the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and the Northern
Ireland Assembly. Where this is so, the document describes only Labour’s work in
England. The Party’s policy processes in Scotland and Wales decide our policies
there, but we share the same values and goals for the whole of the UK.

Introduction
This document is about Britain’s future. We have
made great progress in the last 12 years towards
our goal of social justice, but we cannot rest. The
rapid pace of change makes the case for New
Labour - for bolder reform, for a new partnership
between citizen and state, for our vision of a future
in which all, not just a wealthy few have opportunity
- even stronger. In realising that vision, we must
face up to the new challenges transforming our
world.
In the next decade, those challenges will be very

different from the last. This is the first election of a
new economic era shaped by the three crises of our
time: the global financial crisis, the post-expenses
political crisis, and the climate crisis. Our task is
to shape the future around a modern progressive
agenda. The values of the Labour Party are the
values of progressive politics throughout the ages.
We are restless for change. We want Britain by
2015 to be even fairer, greener, more prosperous
and democratic.
Following the National Policy Forum programme

agreed at our last Conference, we need to take
account of the dramatic changes taking place in
the world. In The choice for Britain, we explore the
next steps we must take on the road to fairness
focusing on key domestic priorities. Our proposals
are being sent to every constituency party in the
country framing thinking for the next manifesto.
All responses will be fed into the NPF and used to
shape Labour’s ideas. Every party member can have
their say so we have a programme that reflects the
aspirations of the British people. We want to know
