Preview Modernising the Labour Party: Organizational Change since 1983

Description:
Few parties have undergone such comprehensive organizational change as the Labour Party since 1983. Labour's organization once institutionalized the political exchange between office-seeking politicians and the party's policy-seeking trade union paymasters.

The price may be a centralized party vulnerable to membership exit and union funding cuts.
