Why Did the Students Lose? Conclusion List of Contributors Notes Bibliography IndexReviews'This is a well-timed explanation of the class contradictions at the root of the Labour Party from its creation to the present day. As Jeremy Corbyn wins two leadership elections and confounds his critics at the General Election, Simon Hannah asks the fundamental question: will the movement behind Corbyn transform society and politics or be seduced and integrated into the status quo? ' -- Graham Bash, Labour Briefing 'Over the last decade the laws of politics in Britain have changed. This book is, among other things, about the new rules of engagement' -- Peter Oborne, Associate Editor of The Spectator, author of The Triumph of the Political Class (2007) 'The student revolt represented a turning point in British politics. It was the first visible sign that austerity would meet resistance and, we hope, will eventually be reversed. But less visible, until now, was what lessons the students took from those days of rage. In the words of participants, Myers' important work captures a sense of the trajectory that leads us from Millbank in 2010 to Jeremy Corbyn today' -- Chris Williamson, Labour MP for Derby North 'Over the last decade the laws of politics in Britain have changed.
