I would say there are two other important elements here. One is that the plan, the targets, and the timelines are absolutely essential. Mr. Brown is taking a battering in the British press right now, and he should be, because of how he has disinvested in poverty reduction.
The second thing that's necessary is a vibrant voluntary sector to hold politicians' feet to the fire. I hope your recommendations include a plan that has two elements. One is funding to the voluntary sector to do that, because it's very hard even for Campaign 2000, which has now existed for too many years, to do that. The second is changing the taxation rules around charities so that kind of non-partisan advocacy can occur. In Britain, the Rowntree trust is in Mr. Brown's nightmares, and again, it should be.
Thanks.
