- W1594489571 abstract "In 1918, the Labour leadership embarked on a plan of reorganisation that it hopedwould transform the party from a trade union pressure group into an independent,national political party. It equipped the party with a comprehensive political programmeand determined to create a national network of local branches based on a massindividual membership. In essence, the leadership sought to make Labour a modern'mass' political party.This study assesses how the national leadership's plan of reconstruction fared at grassroots level, by examining Labour's development in Manchester between 1918 and 1931.In doing so, it examines the nature and outlook of local members, in particular Labour'sactive core, exploring their role in the party and assessing how far their political viewsmatched those expressed by the national leadership. A final section on Labour'selectoral progress in Manchester draws these elements together, in an effort to explainthe party's record at the polls.The study argues that the reorganisation carried out after 1918 was not the total failuresome have suggested. Nevertheless, it concludes that Manchester Labour was largelyfrustrated in its efforts to create a 'mass' party machine, and remained marginal to thelives of most members of the local community. Furthermore, despite making electoralprogress in the city, it is shown that Labour struggled to attract support outside theworking class. However, it is argued that these failings cannot simply be blamed on theparty's relationship with the trade unions, as many have claimed. Rather, the studyshows that Labour's failure to achieve its organisational goals, and the subsequentproblems that created, owed to more complex and deep-rooted problems connected tothe public's lack of interest in politics. In the process, it reveals much about the natureof Labour organisation, membership and electoral support in this and subsequentperiods." @default.
