Competitiveness
Oliver Kamm skewers the Liberal Democrats for calling to measures to increase Britain's competitiveness, noting by quoting Sam Brittan that competitiveness can belong to people, or companies, but not countries.Now this is of course true, and I have blogged about it myself (though less than I used to - I now wonder whether anyone seeing it doesn't realise the author really means 'productivity' or is referring to the competitiveness of 'business'). But Kamm's obsession with the Liberal Democrats blinds him to the fact that all politicians, not just the Liberal Democrats. For example here's the leader of the Conservative Party, the leader of the Labour Party, the CBI, etc etc.
