First published in 1983. This study draws upon empirical findings
on party activists, members and voters. It examines the origins and
nature of Labour's crisis in the 1980s, showing how the split
leading to the formation of the SDP was merely a manifestation of
deeply rooted problems which went back many years. It argues that
this crisis had three distinct but interrelated aspects: first, the
ideological schism within the party, which had grown in intensity
over time; second, the electoral crisis, which produced the worst
electoral performance at the 1983 general election since 1918; and,
third, the membership crisis arising from the fact that the party
had been losing more than 11,000 individual members per year on
average since 1945. Using elite and mass surveys the book
demonstrates the link between these crises and Labour's policy
performance in office set against a background of rapid economic
decline.
