“If there is to be responsible party government, the party label must be something more than a mere device for securing office. Unless those who are elected under the same party designation are willing to assume sufficient responsibility and exhibit sufficient loyalty and coherence, so that they can cooperate with each other in the support of the broad general principles, of the party platform, the election is merely a mockery, no decision is made at the polls, and there is no representation of the popular will.” IfsMadeGovernmentDecisionPartyResponsibilityPrinciplesSupportWillingOfficeResponsibleElectionAssumingMereLoyaltyLabelsSufficientDevicesBroadsPlatformsRepresentationPollsExhibitsMockeryBeing ResponsibleCoherenceDesignation Author:Calvin Coolidge
“The general election of 1983 has produced one important result that has passed virtually without comment in the media. It is that, for the first time since 1945, a political party with an openly socialist policy has received the support of over eight and a half million people. This is a remarkable development by any standards and it deserves some analysis ... the 1983 Labour manifesto commanded the loyalty of millions of voters and a democratic socialist bridge-head in public understanding and support can be made.” PeopleFirstsMadeImportantPoliticalUnderstandingResultsPartyHalfMillionsSupportMediaPolicyDevelopmentStandardsDeserveFirst TimeElectionDemocraticEightLoyaltyBridgesAnalysisLabourRemarkableVotersCommentSocialistPolitical PartiesManifestosGeneral Elections Author:Tony Benn
