    Report

    A clear overview of the main ideas affecting post-war social democracy in the UK. This will be helpful to students at the beginning of their revision, the core value boxes suggesting areas for further reading. It is important that students also look in more detail at post-war consensus between Labour and Conservatives and investigate the role of organised labour through the trade unions.
