PA News 25/1/86 The founders of the Social Democratic Party at the Pavilion, Bath, for the start of a two-day meeting of the Council for Social Democracy, the day before the fifth anniversary of the launch of the SDP. From left: Mrs Shirley Williams (SDP President), Mr David Owen (SDP leader), Mr Roy Jenkins and Mr Bill Rodgers.
Well, I remember when the SDP was launched in 1981. My mother was in the US visiting her sister, and on her return I told her about this new political party. She was overjoyed, having lost faith with Labour. What a shame it all came to nothing.
