AbstractThis article analyses the political crisis faced by the centre‐left, not just in the UK but throughout the Western world, with few exceptions (Canada). The Liberal Democrat party has been a victim of that crisis, though there are encouraging signs of recovery and there is scope for a wider realignment on the centre‐left.

As British politics enters a new post‐Blair era, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Vince Cable argues that a new tri‐party 'progressive consensus' is emerging, encompassing the environment, centralism and localism, authoritarian versus liberal approaches to personal freedoms and the 'politics of identity'.
