Party Feature at www.japanese-home-gardens.com

How profitable party pictures turn out to be for you will be determined mostly by how good you are at imitating the Life Goes to a Party feature. Your pictures inevitably will be compared with those of the photojournalists whose similar work is seen in the magazines and, unless you want to suffer by that comparison, you will have to apply some of the same principles of human interest which guide the magazine cameramen.

Notwithstanding these similarities, the Labour party is more democratic in several respects than the Conservative party. Whereas the Conservatives' central bureaucracy works under the direction of the party leader, the Labour bureaucracy is formally responsible to the national executive committee. Furthermore, the Labour party's annual conference is more likely than its Conservative counterpart to act as a forum for opposition to the party leadership. This is true partly because it sees itself as a "parliament," directing the party leadership, and partly because the trade unions constitute a major bloc of votes within it.

In both parties, however, the parliamentary party and its leaders have been able to resist dictation by the party outside. The leader of each party is elected by members of Parliament, not by the mass party, and in both parties the idea of the supremacy of elected parliamentary representatives is strongly ingrained.
