Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Downfall Is Labour Dead and How Can Radical Hope Be Rebuilt?
    June 2015 downfall Is Labour dead and how can radical hope be rebuilt? Neal Lawson downfall Downfall is about the Labour Party but Compass is not primarily about the Labour Party - it is about the creation of a good society. Compass puts project before party, any party. But parties still matter, and the future of Labour, still the biggest broadly progressive party in the UK, matters enormously. Neal Lawson is Chair of Compass and has been a member of the Labour Party since 1979. He has helped run local parties, been an election agent and campaign strategist, advised senior Labour politicians and written widely about the future of social democracy. He knows that a political party is needed to help create a good society, one that is much more equal, sustainable and democratic. Is Labour it? The thoughts offered here have come from a life long conversation with colleagues and from a wide range of articles and books. Anthony Barnett kindly went through a draft. So Neal’s debt to others is as heavy as the burden of remaking a party that might not want to be remade. Let’s see. Is Labour dead and how can radical hope be rebuilt? Short-term hopes are futile. Long-term resignation is suicidal Hans Magnus Enzenberger Is Labour dead? The question is vital for two reasons; first, because the party might be, and the sooner we know, the better. Second, if it’s not, then by asking the question we might get it off life support, because for Labour death certainly lurks.

This report examines the record behind, rather than the rhetoric around, these claims. Many popular ideas about Labour in power do not stand up to scrutiny. Overall, New Labour was what it always claimed to be: something genuinely new that fused elements of late-20th- century administrative practice with a socially democratic and deeply Labour emphasis on empowering people, families and communities. Many popular ideas about Labour in power simply do not stand up to such scrutiny. Neither income nor wealth inequality rose; and public services enjoyed a brief golden age of funding and performance, especially important for the most disadvantaged who rely on them the most, and in some of Britain’s poorest areas. Area- based initiatives such as the London Challenge for Schools, and family-focused interventions such as Every Child Matters and Sure Start, opened up public services and opportunities in a way that would have seemed unimaginable in the Thatcherite 1980s.

  • Text Cut Off in the Original 232 6
    IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk TEXT CUT OFF IN THE ORIGINAL 232 6 ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE Between 1983 and 1989 there were a series of important changes to Party organisation. Some of these were deliberately pursued, some were more unexpected. All were critical causes, effects and aspects of the transformation. Changes occurred in PLP whipping, Party finance, membership administration, disciplinary procedures, candidate selection, the policy-making process and, most famously, campaign organisation. This chapter makes a number of assertions about this process of organisational change which are original and are inspired by and enhance the search for complexity. It is argued that the organisational aspect of the transformation of the 1980s resulted from multiple causes and the inter-retroaction of those causes rather than from one over-riding cause. In particular, the existing literature has identified organisational reform as originating with a conscious pursuit by the core leadership of greater control over the Party (Heffernan ~\ . !.. ~ and Marqusee 1992: passim~ Shaw 1994: 108). This chapter asserts that while such conscious .... ~.. ,', .. :~. pursuit was one cause, other factors such as ad hoc responses to events .. ,t~~" ~owth of a presidential approach, the use of powers already in existence and the decline of oppositional forces acted as other causes. This emphasis upon multiple causes of change is clearly in keeping with the search for complexity. 233 This chapter also represents the first detailed outline and analysis of centralisation as it related not just to organisational matters but also to the issue of policy-making. In the same vein the chapter is particularly significant because it relates the centralisation of policy-making to policy reform as it occurred between 1983 and 1987 not just in relation to the Policy Review as is the approach of previous analyses.

  • Redefining the Political Landscape: Here's How a Progressive Alliance
    Redefining the political landscape: here’s how a Progressive Alliance could work blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/could-a-progressive-alliance-work/ 5/11/2017 Talks of a Progressive Alliance emerged as soon as the snap election was called. With Theresa May polling well ahead of the rest, an alliance seems to be the only alternative to the Conservative Party’s governing style. Alan Wager explains what history can teach us about the strategic purpose of such an agreement, how it would work in terms of parties and their leaders, and whether voters would support it. You would be hard stretched to argue a frit Theresa May called a general election to escape the potential threat of a Progressive Alliance. Beyond isolated ad hoc arrangements and the efforts of burgeoning crowdfunding organisations like More United, it is clear there will be little attempt to forge cross-party connections prior to the nation-wide vote on 8 June. However, it is possible the general election, and the powerful voter-led ‘realignment on the right’ it may facilitate, could crystallise many of the most persuasive and urgent arguments in favour of an electoral pact on the centre-left. Electoral co-operation of this kind between parties has a longer history in British politics than folk memory would suggest. There are enough historical portents for us to have some understanding of why parties – their leaders, their central organisations, and their grassroots members – may be motivated to pursue, or oppose, an electoral agreement with their competitors. We also have some idea of what voters might think about them.
