1980 Labour Party Shadow Cabinet election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Political party election in the United Kingdom

Elections to theLabour Party'sShadow Cabinet (more formally, its "Parliamentary Committee") took place on 4 December 1980, having been delayed due to theOctober election of newParty LeaderMichael Foot. In addition to the 12 members elected, the Leader (Foot), Deputy Leader (Denis Healey),Labour Chief Whip (Michael Cocks), Labour Leader in the House of Lords (Lord Peart), and Chairman of theParliamentary Labour Party (Fred Willey) were automatically members.

Two winners of the1979 election were not re-elected: Healey was elected Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, so did not need to run for election to the Shadow Cabinet.David Owen did not return. He informedMichael Foot of his decision not to run in November, after the PLP rejected "one member, one vote" and it became clearer to him that he would be defecting. Not long afterward, he joinedBill Rodgers (who did win a seat in the Shadow Cabinet),Shirley Williams, andRoy Jenkins in founding theSocial Democratic Party. Because of Rodgers's defection,Tony Benn joined the Shadow Cabinet in January 1981 by virtue of being the top loser.[1]
