Stuart Holland

Holland has surfaced elsewhere on this site regarding his time at CH but when I Googled him I found the following: "Few living figures can match Stuart Holland's range of experience and insight into both British and European politics."
He was my generation although a little older, and apart from being a Labour MP for Vauxhall he was a very forward-looking economics advisor to Labour governments of the the 1960s and 70s. Politically he appears to have been on the progressive social-democratic left which still exists to some extent in other parts of western Europe (notably Scandinavia) but not in this country since Margaret Thatcher. He has lectured in several universities and produced much literature, and a long interview with Martin O'Neill (not the football manager) titled "Hope Amidst Despair" gives an idea of his views.
