Since the SU(n) gauge theory with massive gauge bosons has been proven to be renormalisable we reinvestigate the renormalisability of the SU$_L$(2) $\times$ U$_Y$(1) electroweak theory with massive W Z bosons. We expound that with the constraint conditions caused by the W Z mass term and the additional condition chosen by us we can performed the quantization and construct the ghost action in a way similar to that used for the massive SU(n) theory. We also show that when the $\delta-$ functions appearing in the path integral of the Green functions and representing the constraint conditions are rewritten as Fourier integrals with Lagrange multipliers $\lambda_a$ and $\lambda_y$, the BRST invariance is kept in the total effective action consisting of the Lagrange multipliers, ghost fields and the original fields. Furthermore, by comparing with the massless theory and with the massive SU(n) theory we find the general form of the divergent part of the generating functional for the regular vertex functions and prove the renormalisability of the theory. It is also clarified that the renormalisability of the theory with the W Z mass term is ensured by that of the massless theory and the massive SU(n) theory.
