Abstract

Christopher Massey compares the left’s walkout of the Labour Party’s National Executive Committee meeting in November 2020 with the last time such a substantial walkout occurred in March 1986. Whilst the actions of the ‘hard’ left in 1986 rendered the meeting inquorate and stopped disciplinary action being taken against a Militant member, the virtual walkout of the left caucus in 2020 had no such impact.
