Both are for modernization, a 4% growth rate, 400,000 new housing starts a year, new antimonopoly legislation, and an overhaul of taxation and social security systems. The difference is one of philosophy and emphasis, with Labor predictably arguing for a stronger state hand in things, the Tories countering that "the question is: How is the planning to be done?
