	New Statesman - The SDP lives on - in Bridlington
		Having split the Labour Party and then the Alliance, it is somehow fitting that even David Owen's attempt in 1990 to wind up the rump SDP - the refuseniks who two years previously had followed him in staying out of the newly merged Liberal Democrats - should itself have caused a schism.
		For those who refused Owen's edict to commit political harakiri, Bridlington is the new Limehouse.
		It is here that SDP members from across the country meet periodically - usually around 30 to 40 attend - and the town even has its own Gang of Four: two husband-and-wife teams represent the party on the council.

		Jenkins soon secured the Prime Minister's and the Cabinet's agreement to a series of tough measures: defence cuts east of Suez, the cancellation of the F-111, the American replacement for the TSR-II, the imposition of prescription charges and the postponement of the raising of the school-leaving age.
		His economic policies were finally rewarded by a dramatic turn-around in the summer of 1969, when the trade figures went into surplus, while for the first time since 1936-37 there was also a surplus of government revenue over expenditure.
		In this capacity he was able to indulge the luxury of declaring that he found it increasingly difficult to take Tony Benn seriously as an economics minister.

		The Liberal split, accompanied by this fundamental change in the system, allowed the Labour Party to co-opt some of The Liberals support, and by the 1922 general election Labour had supplanted the Liberal Party as the main opposition to the Conservatives.
		With The Liberals still in turmoil, Labour formed its first minority government with Liberal support in January 1924, with Ramsay MacDonald as Prime Minister; the government collapsed after nine months when the Liberals voted for a Select Committee inquiry which MacDonald had declared an issue of confidence but The Liberal electoral base had vanished.
		The ensuing general election saw the publication four days before polling day of the Zinoviev Letter implicating Labour in a plot for a Communist revolution, and the Conservatives returned to power.

		That also goes for "Hey Charlie," which is followed by the worst track "You will Burn" which is angry squelches to a fast beat- ugh.By now we're away from the fun tracks, and "Backstreet Love" is their only attempt at a typical song, with a moody female singing away; it doesn't really succeed.
		Finally "Declaration of War" features angry strings, some classic samples, and a pretty good beat.
		This isn't a great disc, and the start and especially end are forgettable, but it does has have a good middle (tracks 2-7).

		The election of Michael Foot as leader of the Labour party in November 1980, and the shambolic Wembley special conference in January 1981 (on the mechanics of the electoral college to choose a leader), provided the ideal launch pad for the new party.
		On January 25, a new Council for Social Democracy was set up and the so-called Limehouse declaration was published, in which the Gang of Four (Owen, Williams and Rodgers were now joined by Roy Jenkins) put the case for a realignment of British politics.

		Although David Owen and his wife Debbie hosted a celebratory party at their home in London's Docklands on Wednesday night, the event they were actually celebrating was the launch of what came to be known as the Limehouse Declaration, the personal manifesto of Owen and the rest of the Gang of Four.
		I know because I doorstepped the event on a dreary Sunday in 1981, 24 hours after Labour's disastrous Wembley conference, where the Bennite forces took the election of the party leader away from MPs and gave it to an electoral college made up of MPs, unions and constituency parties.
		That declaration, in turn, begat what became the forerunner of the SDP proper, namely the Council for Social Democracy, or "Council for Social Diseases" as Dennis Skinner memorably termed it.

		Although not officially part of the London Underground, DLR has become synonymous with it, interspersing and interchanging with the underground network proper at various points along its route, and so we felt it was a legitimate inclusion.
		Limehouse is a place of two distinct halves – the old part, consisting of a few shops and dilapidated pubs and the new, with the quayside, river and harbour.
		The one distinguishing fact about Limehouse is that it was the place where the Social Democratic Party (SDP) were formed – The original “Gang of 4” decamping to Dr David Owen’s flat somewhere in the area to make their now famous “Limehouse declaration” in January 1981.
