Madam, - The apparently imminent winding-up of the Progressive Democrats as a going concern seems oddly in tune with the softening temper of the country.
In tough times, the national appetite for selfishness seems to have abated, and some of the most red-blooded of our business leaders, "developers" and estate agents are with straight faces proposing the anathema of State intervention to prop up markets. I suppose Karl Marx would say: "I told you so". - Yours, etc,
