Maude began and
ended quite touchy - feely, but the meat
of the piece fairly accurately represented what you might expect a Tory platform on the third sector to look like: we need a «rehabilitation revolution'to tackle unprecedented
levels of reoffending, fuelled by addiction, illiteracy and family
breakdown; the state consistently fails to get those who have never worked, lone parents, and those on incapacity benefit back to work; charities should be paid by results; and the third sector is means
of saving taxpayer money and delivering services more efficiently and effectively.
