Poplarism: - Lessons for Today (early 1980s)

This  video is based on a recording of a speech by Tony Saunois at a Militant education event in the early 1980s (in turn, preparing for the struggle launched by Liverpool Council a few years later). 

It contains an explanation of the struggle of the Poplar Councillors in the 1920s from which we can still learn many valuable lessons for the struggles of today:

* What is the role of an elected Councillor as part of the Labour movement?
* How can a successful struggle be organised to oppose council cuts?
* What really helps makes Labour 'electable' and increases its support?
