The Party Leader was chosen by Labour MPs and not by party members. Party membership has declined rapidly since the 1960s. In 1964, about 10% of the electorate were party members, in 1983, 3.8% and in 2008 1.2%. Although there has been a decline in party membership across Europe, it has been much steeper in Britain.
