Abstract
The concluding chapter examines the evidence concerning the unions’ effect on policy, and argues that the Trades Union Congress (TUC) had a limited, but real, effect on Labour’s policies. The chapter also offers some reflections on the prospects and strategies of interest groups in ‘hostile’ political-economic environments.
