The Labour Party under Ed Miliband - Eunice Goes

Was Miliband successful at turning the page on New Labour and at
re-imagining social democracy for the post-global financial crisis era?
This study maps the ideas - old and new - that were debated and adopted
by the Labour Party under Miliband and shows how they were transformed
into policy proposals and adapted to contemporary circumstances. It
seeks to demonstrate that the Labour Party under Miliband tried but
failed to renew social democracy. This failure is one of the several
reasons why 'Milibandism' was so overwhelmingly rejected by voters at
the 2015 general election. Goes offers a thought-provoking
perspective on how political parties develop their thinking and
political blueprints that will appeal to scholars and students of
British politics and ideologies and to anyone interested in contemporary
debates about social democracy.
