	Neil Kinnock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kinnock was responsible for many of the reforms to the party which were built upon by John Smith and Tony Blair until Labour was elected in 1997.
		Kinnock supported the aim of the strike - which he famously dubbed the "case for coal" - but, as an MP from a mining area, was bitterly critical of the tactics employed.
		Kinnock explained his change of attitude, despite the continuing presence of 90 hereditary peers and appointment by patronage, by asserting that the Lords was a good base for campaigning.

		Neil Kinnock: Yes, the current staff regulations have provisions on this, but they haven’t effectively been operated, so what we’re doing, is to get a system that is more transparent and also more workable.
		Neil Kinnock: Well these are the objective facts to be taken into account for instance the volume and the velocity of the money going through their hands – although it actually goes through their computer.
		Neil Kinnock: Do you know what I’ve been thinking about a hell of a lot since the last general election, indeed before that in the last EU election, and that is campaigning for compulsory voting in the UK.

	Labour's leadership and its roots in student politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		There are grounds for the view that Kinnock's leadership is indeed heavily determined by his background, and that of his closest collaborators, in the student politics of the 1960s and 1970s, and that his ascendancy has reflected the triumph of student politics within the Labour Party at the expense of other forms of politics.
		Neil Kinnock is as much of working class origin as Eric Heffer was, and he was active in his local CLP from an early age, and made his living as a WEA lecturer before entering Parliament.
		Kinnock and Co. have self-evidently been doing unprecedented things to the Labour Party, but Kinnock's personal rootlessness is not at all self-evident, and in so far as it exists, it is not at all unprecedented.

	Malta well prepared to join the EU - Neil Kinnock
		Kinnock said that "of the areas still outstanding, none are of huge significance, none are insuperable".

		Kinnock said that the Malta is "out-minded enough to be conscious of its own dignity, history, pride, distinctiveness but also conscious of the possibilities to be exploited".

	Guardian \| Neil Kinnock pledges radical reform of EU commission

		Neil Kinnock, the former Labour leader and current vice-president of the European Commission, has launched a savage attack on Europe's Left, which he insists must prove its sense of purpose if it is to counter the rise of the far Right across the European Union.
		Kinnock said Jean-Marie Le Pen's success in France was evidence of the Left's failure to show it had a reason for existing.
		Kinnock flatly rejected the idea that Le Pen's success was 'a resounding endorsement for racism and nationalism', pointing out that the former paratrooper had won only some 220,000 more votes than last time round.

	ESC:Public Statements: Port State Control Needs Improvement Shippers Tell Kinnock
		The enforcement of high standards in bulk shipping is failing to detect rogue vessels, shippers of bulk commodities from all over Europe told EU Transport Commissioner Neil Kinnock in Brussels today (Monday).
		In response Neil Kinnock, who participated throughout the seminar, responded by calling for industry to share its knowledge of problem vessels with the Commission so as to help in the targeting of scarce enforcement resources.
		Neil Kinnock's interest shows there is equal willingness by the Commission and the challenge for shippers is to devise a means by which they can demonstrate that they have exercised a responsible care in selecting a vessel for the carriage of bulk commodities.
