Labour’s electoral performance and prospects seem to have gone from bad to worse.  Yet, measured by membership, it is by far the biggest political party in the UK, bucking a long-term European trend towards declining participation. In the run up to its second leadership contest in a year, Professor Tim Bale, who together with his colleagues Paul Webb and Monica Poletti, runs an ESRC-funded project on party members, takes an in-depth look at the people who have turned Labour upside down.
