Arthur Scargill would almost certainly vote for him - Neil Kinnock might not. The Rt
Hon Tony Benn , mp has been described as 'the Enoch Powell of the Labour Party'. Harold Wilson once said of him that 'he immatures with age'. Others see him as the guru of the Left, the purifying force of socialism.
