	New Labour Unity Party (Fiji) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Labour Unity Party is a Fijian political party, which broke away from the Fiji Labour Party in May 2001.
		It was founded by Tupeni Baba, a former Deputy Prime Minister and Labour Party stalwart, who had become dissatisfied with Mahendra Chaudhry's leadership and expressed fears that if Chaudhry, who had been deposed in the Fiji coup of 2000, returned as Prime Minister, there could be another coup.
		In the parliamentary election of 2001, the New Labour Unity Party called for the strengthening of the independence of the judiciary, which had been undermined by government defiance.

	New Zealand Labour Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Labour Party was an amalgamation of a number of early groups, the oldest of which was founded in 1901.
		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 elections, the party gained a significant victory.

	1945 Labour Party Manifesto - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Labour Party's programme is a practical expression of that spirit applied to the tasks of peace.
		The Labour Party intends to keep going as much of the work of the Ministry of Food as will be useful in peace conditions, including the bulk purchase of food from abroad and a well organised system of distribution at home, with no vested interests imposing unnecessary costs.
		Labour will put that Act not merely into legal force but into practical effect, including the raising of the school leaving age to 16 at the earliest possible moment, "further" or adult education, and free secondary education for all.

	Socialism Today - Ken Livingstone and a new workers' party
		New Labour grandees like Philip Gould, the originator of the infamous 'focus groups', believe that the so-called 'core Labour voters' have nowhere else to go but to tamely line up behind the New Labour electoral bandwagon.
		The helplessness of the New Labour 'star', the trade and industry secretary Stephen Byers, in the face of this calamity is stark: in 1972 Edward Heath's Tory government nationalised Rolls Royce in 24 hours.
		The Ayr by-election, in which Labour was reduced to third position behind the Tories and the Scottish National Party, following on the heels of the fiasco of Alun Michael in Wales and the looming victory of Livingstone, also underlines the scale of the crisis facing New Labour.

	Waking Up to the Electorate: The Making of the British New Labour Party
		Labour returned to power in 1974, first as a minority government and then with a majority of three, though its vote was again down.
		Labour was plagued by internal divisions and the breakaway Social Democratic Party, and saw its share of the poll collapse to a post-1922 low of 27.6 percent in 1983, and then only slowly recover to 30.8 percent in 1987 and 34.4 percent in 1992.
		Five years later, the Labour peer Lord Snell explained working-class attitudes by reference to the farmyard: 'They have been driven like cattle, they have often been housed worse than cattle, and they carry with them the marks of their history.' By the end of the 1950s, judgements were becoming even less sympathetic.

	Why I Will Not Vote Labour Again
		New Labour could have stopped the privatization of the railways when it was elected, but chose to do nothing, presumably because once again it did not want to alienate the share-owning Middle England.

		One, in respect of New Labour, was a memo from Blair to his colleagues bewailing the fact that his image had been recently dented and asking for suggestions for new laws that could be made with which he could be associated, that would restore his image to the public again.

	New Statesman: Deep or shallow end: a choice - the new Labour Party government (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It was only later that the intellectual project of the new right took shape, initiated by the right-wing think-tanks when the Conservatives were in opposition, but defined by them in the 1980s and moulded into a hegemonic cultural form by Thatcher's immense political authority.
		Whether new Labour will turn out to be shallow or deep cannot yet be known; the key point of the thesis is that, at this stage of the project, both strategies would be following the same kind of programme.
		In the new global economy, Europe is under increasing pressure from the low-wage economies of the south.

	New Labour Party proscribes Democratic Socialists
		NLP leaders, such as Bob Leach and Rod Noble -- ex-members of the ALP and the Communist Party of Australia's failed New Left Party -- limited debate at the conference by setting a delegate ratio of one to every 25 members.
		To ensure that opponents of the NLP leadership's social democratic politics were excluded from discussion, the first day of the conference was dominated by the debate over a proscription clause in the new constitution.
		The sectarian and exclusive approach of the NLP leadership and the small attendance at the conference convinced many that this new party is not the step towards building a mass socialist party for Australian workers that it was hoped it might be.
