	Knowledge King - Independent Labour Party (UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The party was formed in 1893 making it one of the earliest democratic socialist political parties operating in the United Kingdom.
		Many ILP members viewed the Labour Party as being too timid and moderate in their attempts at social reform, and consequently many ILP branches chose to affiliate to the British Socialist Party, who in 1920 would play a leading role in the formation of the Communist Party of Great Britain.
		This difference of opinion between the ILP and the Labour Party is exemplified by their divergent approaches to the UK's involvement in World War I, which the Labour Party officially supported, whilst the ILP opposed it.

		But those Labour moderates who remained in the party, such as Roy Hattersley, argue that the split in the centre-left both aided the Conservatives and delayed the move of the Labour Party to a centrist position.

		While the main parties spend their time trying to ridicule each other's tax and spending plans, the UK Independence Party will be in the uniquely favourable position of having an extra fund of some £20 billion per year to use as we see fit.
		As the UK population ages, the cost to the exchequer of state pensions is rising, and it is expected to rise considerably after 2010.
		Successive UK governments have allowed defence spending to be repeatedly cut, with damaging effects on morale and the predictable result that the ability of our forces to fulfil even their limited current commitments is severely compromised.

	The Goldsmith Agenda - Beyond The Referendum Party
		The 'Referendum Party' was a fascist party in the sense that the leader and the party were one.
		However the 1997 general election demonstrated that a 'single issue party', whatever the issue and whatever its legitimacy as the single issue, would always be sidelined in a general election by the democratic campaigning skills of any two or more opposing 'full policy parties'.
		Under the current British electoral system, the power of a single issue party seems to be restricted to that of undermening the credibility of the competing 'in-pirates' and 'out-pirates'...to the benefit or detriment of the 'full policy parties'.

	Global Greens -
		The Ecology Party (originally founded in 1973 as “People”) owes its change of name in 1985 to the influence of mainland European politics.
		As Europe’s oldest national ecological party, we have found election at the national level more difficult than most, due largely to our majoritarian electoral system based on single-member constituencies.
		It was therefore very important to us to be seen to be linked to sister parties which had people elected and to use that to demonstrate we were part of a new political force, which was worth voting for.

		Trapped Agenda: Beyond The Referendum Party was written in May 1998, a year after the party polled a miserly 3% in the 1997 British elections to the Westminster Parliament.
		The UK Green Party argues that proportional representation will change everything...as does the Liberal democrat party...and fervently believe the Green tactical voters of the past few elections 'first past the post' elections will return to the fold in droves for the Strasbourg Assembly elections in June 1999.
		I believe that a better strategy in the UK for the European Green Movement could be to put their trust in William Hague, the new leader of the British Conservative Party, to lead his Conservative and Unionist Party forward to Quintin Hogg's...and Edmund Burke's...conservatism.
