As the votes were tallied last Thursday, it became clear that neither the unabashed pork barreling nor the charge of carpetbagging had succeeded. Roy Jenkins was Hillhead's man. The endless street work, the grace under catcalls and the sore hands had not only won the day, but might, in the future, prove a deciding factor in Britain's political fortunes. Within the next few weeks, the Social Democrats will poll their 78,000 dues-paying members on their choice for the party's permanent leader. The Hillhead victory should win Roy Jenkins the grateful support of his own brave new party.
