New parties in the long decade of ALP government

2009

Working class party identification and support changed in the 'long decade' (1983-1996) of ALP government. Intense identification with the ALP declined and within the class several attempts were made to form new parties. The pluralist understanding about the relationship of party and class - a party appeals to a class and, if successful, provides that class' identity - is inadequate for understanding this development. An alternative argument is that a critical mass of especially interested and socially connected people is the basis of collective action not only for social movements but for a party based in the mass of a class. This paper will consider whether or not working class party formation and activity during the long decade provides evidence supporting this argument.
