This was very much an SDP-led inclusion in the make up of the party. They'd seen what the likes of Militant had done to Labour and wanted to put up barriers to stop it happening in the new party."<br /><br />The only reason Militant had such a hold over Labour in the first instance was that, at the time, Labour were not a "one member One Vote" party. Democracy is easily manipulated if left in the hands of an elite few.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027368242570244912noreply@blogger.com
