The welfare state materialized out of the post war resolution of international and domestic social tensions and in the 1960’s and 1970’s the welfare state expanded and modernized as a result of changing demands and needs of society. The failure of the labour government’s attempt to reconcile the conflicting demands in the mid 1970’s was succeeded by the conservative approach, when Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979.
The general agreement with most, although not all, is that there was a post war consensus where aims between the two major political were similar, although the approaches to these aims may have varied. Similar policies where followed in aspects such as holding up the welfare state and running an economy on Keynesian principles; with the key aim being to have near maximum employment in the economy through government intervention when the market failed to do so.
