Description

Peter Spencer reports on the SDP conference in Scarborough. Pessimists say that with four percent of the popular vote behind them, the party is heading for oblivion; optimists, by way of contrast, say they have broken new ground. There is disagreement about how far the party should work with the SLD. Includes excerpts from speeches by John Cartwright; Dr David Owen; unnamed delegates; singing from delegates.
