EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a moment in British political history during the Bermondsey by-election of 1983. Peter Tatchell, the Australian-born British political activist, is seen standing proudly as the Labour Party candidate (second from left) at the declaration of votes. Despite his efforts, Simon Hughes (third from left) ultimately won the seat for the Liberals, with Labour coming in second.
Adding to the colorful cast of characters in this snapshot is Screaming Lord Sutch (far left), a musician who was standing for the first time as leader of the newly formed Official Monster Raving Loony Party. His eccentricity and unique platform earned him sixth place out of 16 candidates.
The image encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in electoral history but also showcases a diverse range of political ideologies and personalities. From Tatchell's dedication to socialist principles to Sutch's whimsical approach to politics, each figure represents a different facet of British society at that time.
As we look back on this snapshot from over three decades ago, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of diversity and representation within our political landscape. The legacy of individuals like Tatchell and Sutch continues to inspire activists and politicians alike to strive for change and progress in our society.
