A New British Model?
There is increasing interest in comparing the different approaches to balancing economic and social welfare priorities across countries in Europe and beyond. This has led to new models that have attempted to explain and classify the current government's approach in Britain. For example, Will Hutton has talked about the "social democratising" of the Anglo-Saxon model, and last year Nick Pearce (Director of ippr) and colleagues outlined the "Anglo-Social Model". This describes the approach as an attempt to combine the economic performance and flexibility of liberal welfare states with the social protection and equality of Scandinavian countries.

It made a net loss of more than three hundred seats, and controls 18 fewer councils than it did before the elections.
