At worst, its political debate can be parochial, even tin-eared about the world outside. Yet Britain is an outrider for openness, standing out among large European nations for its faith in free trade, liberalized markets and undistorted competition. In many neighboring countries, calls to reject free trade and embrace protectionism attract a quarter or more of the vote. Not in Britain. Yet in island politics, the temptation to gaze inward is never far away. Debates about capitalism dominate British politics.Listen to the leaders, and it would be easy to conclude that the root of the problem is the moral failings of Britain's political parties. The parties accuse each other of letting unfairness thrive, because they are variously nasty, incompetent or unable to stand up to vested interests. Immigration has become part of this argument. The Conservatives accuse Labor of lazily allowing foreigners to take millions of jobs during the boom years rather than improving the employ-ability of native workers.
