Over at the excellent Coffee House blog, Institute of Economic Affairs Director Mark Littlewood has written an important piece examining the views of the two coalition parties towards civil liberty issues. Littlewood asks: "Has entering government changed them? We have seen in the past how politicians can change in government. Back in 1994, Michael Howard, then Home Secretary, proclaimed the merits of ID cards. Labour railed against the plans. But seven years later – in the wake of the 9/11 outrage – senior Labour figures, by then in government, found merit in the proposals. "In fairness to the coalition, they...
