POLITICS ON THE AIR
BRITISH LABOUR. PARTY’S ATTITUDE
Tin 1 British Labour Party is strongly in favour of developing political broadcasting. writes Mr Arthur Greenwood, M.P., in “Labour.” That is not to say that we should favour the broadcasting of Parliamentary debates. It would be a waste of time over the ether! And it might-—because of the dullness of most debates —undermine the confidence of the people in our Parliamentary institutions! The humdrum business of legislation and administration would not contribute to a brighter wireless programme. But in between elections the Labour Party would welcome more political debates, discussions and speeches on the wireless I from all points of view. We believe that the radio might become a great j medium of political education. Wo. do not wish to deprive radio onthus- j■ iasts of any, of their enjoyment; but we. feel that large numbers of citizens would be glad to hear the voices of those who are helping to share, our | political life expressing their views on the problems which face the nation and the world.
