- Description
- Dr David Owen has been explaining why he now believes it is futile to fight the Democrats in elections. His crisis-ridden party is fielding candidates for only a fifth of the seats in the European parliamentary elections next month. There is not even an SDP candidate in the European seat covering his Plymouth constituency. But as he issued the SDP manifesto, Owen denied that it is ludicrous to claim the SDP is still a national party. Male interviewer not identified.
