LEADERSHIP AND THE LABOUR PARTY - JOHN GAFFNEY ...

The relationships between narrative and leadership  between rhetoric and performance  between
doctrine and its voicing  are crucial to party politics and are underrated by both practising
politicians and scholars. This study analyses the ¿performance of leadership¿ in the UK Labour
Party  and what this means for a new approach to understanding politics. The main focus of this
study is the five-year leadership of Ed Miliband  2010-2015. The fortunes of the party and the
party leadership can be apprehended as a series of performed rhetorical events. A political
leader¿s persona is a construction that performs ¿ rather like an actor ¿ in the political
space. The author identifies and analyses the architecture and the modalities of leadership
persona construction and performance in contemporary politics.
