Cr�ticas:

"'I'll tell you what happens with impossible promises. You start with far-fetched resolutions. They are then pickled into a rigid dogma, a code, and you go through the years sticking to that, out-dated, misplaced, irrelevant to the real needs, and you end up in the grotesque chaos of a Labour council - a Labour council - hiring taxis to scuttle round the city handing out redundancy notices to its own workers. I am telling you, no matter how entertaining, how fulfilling to short term egos - I'm telling you, and you'll listen - you can't play politics with people's jobs and with people's services or with their homes' Neil Kinnock, Speech to the Labour Party Conference, 1985"

Rese�a del editor:

The story of the people's party - in its own words - Foreword by Michael Foot - High profile launch with senior members of the Labour Party - Published to coincide with the Labour Party Conference - Over 100 historic Labour speeches Keir Hardie, Aneurin Bevan, Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock, John Smith...The roll call of Labour's great orators goes on and on. Their words illuminate the story of the party, its triumphs and its battles. In OLD LABOUR TO NEW Greg Rosen gathers together the greatest speeches from over one hundred years of Labour Party history and places each in context to form a unique history of the party. Among these historic speeches are: Keir Hardie's speech to the Independent Labour Party's first conference in 1893 ('The demand of the Labour Party is economic freedom'); Bevan's 1948 attack on the Tory party ('so far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin'); more recently, it takes the story of Harold Wilson's 'White Heat' through 'In Place of Strife,' the battles over Europe, the 'Winter of discontent', Militant and the Miners' strike and the story of New Labour through to the war in Iraq.
