Abstract

351 the party. A third issue is intra-party differences. It seems that it was rather easy for party moderates to passify the left with symbolic promises, e. g., through vagueness in the wording of policy statements and ambiguity with respect to their specific pro- posals. The role of the unions is also discussed. Revisionism reigned supreme in the 1960s. Radicalism reemerged in the 1970s which is partly explained by the influx of new, more radical, adamant members com- ing mainly from the salaried middle class. Examples of party radicalization are the proposals for the extension of government power to intervene in industry, programs promising massive redistribution of wealth and income, and an emphasis on industrial democracy. Yet once in office in 1974, the Government retreated from radicalism. Cooperation rather than confrontation with industry was chosen because of the economic situation and Labour's weak electoral position. This led to an ever-widening discrepancy between party and government policy. , The Swedish Social Democratic Party was reformist in nature almost from its start.
