| Summary / Abstract (Note) | What do the different wings of the Labour Party actually disagree about? Sometimes it seems like almost everything, in spite of the warm words about party unity offered by the various leadership contenders in recent weeks. But on closer investigation, the disagreement between left and right is less about policy—on which there is in fact some convergence about the broad direction of travel—and more about entitlement: which faction is the legitimate legatee of the battered, but still attractive, Labour tradition? Since this disagreement is existential—about which side is authentically Labour—it is also a bitter and intractable one. |
