Few parties have undergone such comprehensive organizational change
as the Labour Party since 1983. Labour's organization once
institutionalised the political exchange between office-seeking
politicians and the party's policy-seeking trade union paymasters.
Using accessible rational choice models, Thomas Quinn explores how
consecutive election defeats prompted party leaders to modernize
this structure to regain voters' trust, reducing union influence in
policymaking, parliamentary candidate selection and leadership
contests. The price may be a centralized party vulnerable to
membership exit and union funding cuts.
