Abstract
In 1955, four years after the British Labour Party emerged from its most successful period of government, it selected a new leader, Hugh Gaitskell, who attempted to push through a programme of modernisation to shift the party away from an obsession with the ownership of capital, towards a new relationship to the economy based on the ideas of the revisionists.2 In 1997, eighteen years after the last Labour government, a Labour Party led by a modernising tendency triumphed at the General Election.3 Superficially, there was much in common between the Labour Party of Hugh Gaitskell and the New Labour Party of Tony Blair, in their attitudes to policy in general and to party reform in particular.
