In New Zealand, Britain, Canada, and the UK the political consensus had adopted much more of a socialist centre until the early 1980s, whereupon the political centre moved rightwards but still remained to the left of the US political centre.
However, in both Britain and NZ the Labour parties have now recast themselves as Third Way parties of the pragmatic centre-left, who are essentially the same social democratic parties but with a gradualist approach to reform, rather than a radical approach, and a more neo-liberal microeconomic policy.
In the previous chapters we dealt with NZ political parties with their roots in two distinct strands of political philosophy, in this chapter we shall explore the role of the state, society, and the Church in two contrasting Christian traditions.

 New Zealand Election news & blogs on Stuff.co.nz: Tax cuts socialist style   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Professor Flynn's approach to democratic socialism was every bit as classical – and rigorous – as his method of introducing students to the fundamentals of Western political thought.
A founding member of the NewLabour Party in 1989, and the uncompromising guardian of the Alliance's progressive tax policies throughout the 1990s, Professor Flynn never flinched from what he always declared to be the duty of every political party – to demonstrate both publicly and precisely how it intends to pay for its promises.
It came as no surprise to me, therefore, that in an election year where tax cuts look set to provide one of the defining issues of the campaign, it is Professor Flynn who has set the parameters for the tax debate on the Left by releasing, early, the Alliance's radical proposals for fiscal reform.
