  • Increasing Levels of Rebellion Amongst The
    Where’s it all coming from? Backbench rebels in the 2001 Parliament PHILIP COWLEY and MARK STUART* Where do you think most of this poison is coming from? From the dispossessed and the never possessed. You can think of ex-ministers who are going around causing all sorts of trouble. We don’t want another three more of the bastards out there (John Major, April 1993) The rise in backbench discontent is already causing serious problems for the Government – but the real fear amongst the Labour hierarchy is the situation after the next election. The Government is struggling to enact key pieces of legislation whilst enjoying a majority of 161. How will it manage with a majority of, say, 61? To make matters worse, the most rebellious MPs sit for safer seats than the rest of the PLP, meaning that as the Government’s shrinks, the rebels become a larger proportion within the parliamentary party. Echoing Norman Lamont’s verdict on the Major years, one Labour insider has already described the possibility as ‘office without power’.1 Such a view presupposes several unknowns about any future Labour Government – including whether a smaller majority would generate greater self-discipline from Labour backbenchers – but the mere possibility of backbench rebels being able to hold a third term Blair government to ransom is causing concern amongst the Labour leadership. Hence the recent (albeit extremely vague) rumours of deselections and expulsions, targeted against a handful of the most rebellious backbenchers, both to remove them from the equation and, more generally, pour encourager les autres.
