| | Hilary Wainwright: First New Labour, now new unions |
 | | From South Africa, Zweneli Vavi, general secretary of the Congress of South African Trade Unions, describes being part of a tense alliance with the ANC while linking with community, church and anti-privatisation groups to campaign for alternative policy proposals. |
 | | In New Zealand, the unions have stuck with Labour, despite its evangelical monetarism in the 1980s, but have forced change; Labour now governs on a programme of which Roy Hattersley, Tony Benn and the Greens could be proud. |
 | | Whether the outcome will be a refounding of the Labour party or the emergence of a new party is open to question, but the growth of social unionism is laying the foundations for a new labour politics. |
