It would be differcult to think of any political party whose
internal problems have been so publicly scrutinised as have those
of the Labour Party in recent years. The authors of The Politics of
the Labour Party were not specifically asked to consider the
question-why Labour? There has been no shortage of published views
on that subject. Instead they were invited to look at certain
themes and topics of longer-term significance. With a focus on
contemporary problems, whose consequences are still unfolding The
Politics of the Labour Party promotes an understanding of the
context in which those problems occured and will develop with its
main theme being change. Chapters included focus on power in party;
the developing incompatibility of intra-party democracy and
parliamentary democracy and the changing styles of political
leadership. Noted contributors such as the late Robert Mackenzie,
Colin Crouch and Dennis Kavanagh raise important questions about
the changes in the relationship between the party and the trade
unions; remind us about the scale of labours recent decline in
electoral support and investigate the party's ideas of
representation and asks if Labour is still the workers party. The
Politics of the Labour Party provides simply the most authoritative
analysis of the longer-term tensions which lie behind the immediacy
of day-to-day events.
