Labour's 'spineless' stand up to Blair

Article Abstract:

An examination of issues over which the UK's Labour government could experience high levels of dissent from its own backbench MPs during autumn 2003, as well as an examination of past dissent from Labour backbenchers. It is argued that Labour backbench MPs do not deserve their reputation for being sheep, blindly doing what their party tells them to do, and that, in fact, Labour backbenchers have tended to rebel more often and more vociferously than their Conservative counterparts.
