	Labour Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Labour Party's origins lie in the late 19th century, when it became apparent that there was an increasing need for a third party in Britain to represent the interests and needs of the large working-class population (for instance, the 1899 Lyons vs. Wilkins judgement that limited certain types of picketing).
		The 1960s Labour government, though claiming to be far less radical on economic policy than its 1940s predecessor, introduced several social changes, such as the partial legalisation of homosexuality and the abolition of the death penalty.
		New Labour thought also embraces the notion of the 'Third Way', although critics pointed to the lack of any concise statement of its meaning, and the term later fell from use.

	New Zealand Labour Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soon afterwards, the labour movement was hit by the Waihi miners' strike, a major industrial disturbance prompted by radicals in the union movement.
		Almost immediately, the new Labour Party became involved in the acrimonious debate about conscription, which arose during World War I — the Labour Party strongly opposed conscription, and a number of its leaders were jailed for their stand against it.
		Labour was defeated again in the next two elections, but in the 1972 election, the party gained a significant victory.

	New Zealand Labour Party - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The New Zealand Labour Party formed as a political party in 1916, bringing together socialist groups advocating proportional representation and "the Recall" of Members of Parliament, as well as the nationalisation of production and of exchange.
		Labour lost office in the 1949 elections, failed to capitalise on the Waterfront Strike of 1951, and remained in the political wilderness of opposition until (barely) winning the election of 1957 under the leadership of Walter Nash, the last foreign-born head.
		The resulting period was tumultuous, with Labour's controversial ministers Roger Douglas and Richard Prebble driving rogernomics, a rapid introduction of "free market" reforms and privatisation of government assets.

	New Leader, New Labour?
		New Labour defined itself very clearly as far as spending is concerned when Gordon Brown in January 1997 announced that Labour would adopt the Conservative Government's spending budget for the first two years of a Labour government.
		Labour also claims that its relationship with the unions is based on "fairness, not favours." All this is somewhat contrasted by the promise by trade unions to "minimise strikes in order not to embarrass a future Blair government" (Sylvester, 1997).
		New Labour's allegedly improved internal democracy and renewed union relationship constitute an image that is not true of the actual situation.

		The pragmatism of the traditional Conservative elite was largely eclipsed by this new layer after the electoral defeat of 1997, divorcing the party from the interests of the City and multinationals.
		New Labour was thus presented with a consolidated four-year expansion.
		Under New Labour, single-parent benefits can be cut, school buildings sold to private companies, cabinet seats handed out in exchange for home loans, millions taken for passports or advertising franchises, asylum seekers locked in country-of-origin detention camps—but, to this sensibility, it all feels much better.

	Labour Party Manifesto, General Election 1997
		The purpose of new Labour is to give Britain a different political choice: the choice between a failed Conservative government, exhausted and divided in everything other than its desire to cling on to power, and a new and revitalised Labour Party that has been resolute in transforming itself into a party of the future.
		Labour recognises that the option of a united Ireland does not command the consent of the Unionist tradition, nor does the existing status of Northern Ireland command the consent of the Nationalist tradition.
		With a new Labour government, Britain will be strong in defence; resolute in standing up for its own interests; an advocate of human rights and democracy the world over; a reliable and powerful ally in the international institutions of which we are a member; and will be a leader in Europe.

		New candidates are typically young, intelligent, 'attractive', self-serving, careerists with the ethics of "bugs bunny" in short "Thatcher's Children".
		Labour MP's still often represent some of the poorest constituencies in the country and have a duty to strongly represent the interests of their constituents on government policy in relation to poverty.
		When the labour party under the decent "John Smith" attacked the Tory record on crime they promised that a future Labour government would be "tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime" what they meant by the "cause of crime" was poverty an idea rapidly ignored by the Blair government.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| New Labour renewed is Brown's rallying cry
		Gordon Brown yesterday set out his personal manifesto for the renewal of the New Labour project so that it can dominate the centre ground of politics and retain power as the "voice of the mainstream majority" long after Tony Blair has finally left office.
		Labour's prime minister in waiting coupled a sweeping survey of how he intends to build a "progressive consensus" to achieve his twin goals - 21st century individualism sustained by 21st century community values - with a promise to tour every region of Britain in the year ahead to "listen, hear and learn".
		But in praising Mr Blair's decade as Labour leader and embracing most of the New Labour agenda, Mr Brown only once got close to explicit criticism of the Blair era now coming towards its end.

		For the Labour Party was once the guardian of the country's liberal and pacifistic conscience (as indeed was the currently war-mongering Guardian).
		Labour was always reluctant to engage in colonial wars and gunboat diplomacy, and for years in opposition had been the patient advocate of peaceful diplomacy and collective security.
		New Labour's foreign wars have become a spectator sport that can be turned off the screen when people have had enough.

		New Labour was not conjured up out of thin air — it only looks like that because of the party’s amnesia concerning its intellectual development.

		"On one level, Diamond's assertion of the seriousness of New Labour's ideological pedigree is a provocation to those like Roy Hattersley who believe that the Blairites have abandoned social democracy altogether.
