Description |
The electoral defeat of 1979 sparked a major debate inside and outside the British Labour party about the state of the party and its relationship to its historic base of support in the British working class. With Thatcher's re-election in June of 1983, the debate was intensified and infused with a new sense of urgency. It is now generally agreed that Labour is in deep crisis, that it can no longer count upon the routine support even of the industrial workers, and that, if the party is ever again to pose as the main alternative to Conservatism, it must begin a process of rebuilding its electoral support among both manual and non-manual workers. |
