	Independent Labour Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ILP played a central role in the formation of the Labour Representation Committee in 1900 and when the Labour Party was formed in 1906 the ILP affiliated to it.
		It was becoming clearer that the ILP was diverging further away from the Labour Party and at the 1931 ILP Scottish Conference the issue of whether the party should still affiliate to Labour was discussed.
		The Labour left-winger Aneurin Bevan described the ILP's disaffiliation as a decision to remain "pure, but impotent", and in the long run his criticism was arguably vindicated, as once outside of the Labour Party structure the ILP's political influence went into decline.

		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, which 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 on ethical grounds.
		The Labour left-winger Aneurin Bevan described this decision as the ILP deciding to remain "pure, but impotent", which proved in the long-run to be true as without the mainstream Labour Party their political influence was negligiable.

	Labour party. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The Labour party was founded in 1900 after several generations of preparatory trade union politics made possible by the Reform Bills of 1867 and 1884, which enfranchised urban workers.
		The reversal of the party’s position on Britain’s entry into the European Community (now the European Union), after having earlier supported it, and a renewed call for further nationalization of industry were indications of a greater left-wing militancy within the party.
		Michael Foot became party leader in 1980 but was succeeded by Neil Kinnock in 1983.

	The Emergence of the Labour Party - Dr Henry Pelling
		Summary: The growth of the Labour party was not the predictable consequence of either the extension of the franchise or the co-operation of diverse socialist groups and the 1906 pact with the Liberals but the unforeseen consequence of the Taff Vale case and the divisions within the Liberal party during the First World War.
		THE TRADITIONAL VIEW of the emergence of the Labour party, and its successful challenge to the supremacy of the existing two-party system of Liberals and Conservatives, is that it was the result of the gradual extension of the suffrage by the three successive Reform Acts of 1832, 1867 and 1884.
		But the British Independent Labour party and its members of Parliament followed MacDonald’s lead, and when he resigned the chairmanship of the party which he had held for three years, he was succeeded by Arthur Henderson, a prominent trade unionist.

	Socialism Today - How the Labour Party was formed

		The Labour Representation Committee, on the other hand, formed in 1900 before being renamed as the Labour Party in 1906, grew on the basis of a counter-offensive by the capitalist class.
		The Labour Party was from its inception a bourgeois workers party.

	Jim Mortimer - Formation of the Labour Party
		The growing influence of the advocates of labour independence and of socialism was demonstrated at the 1890 congress of the TUC.
		Thus independent labour representation was seen by socialists not as an end in itself but as an essential staging post on the road to an effective socialist movement with policies clearly distinguishable from the Liberals and the Tories.
		The leaders of New Labour are continuing the politics of the SDP that broke away from the Labour Party in the early 1980s.

		Thus the years between 1895 and 1900, the vital pre-history of the Labour Party, were years which were to stamp it at its birth in 1900 as a party of practical trade unionists, fighting for limited aims, with a smattering of Socialists whose influence failed to dominate the party programme or strategy.
		Labourism was to mean little change of programme or ideology; in particular it rejected the demand that a working-class party should be based on belief in class struggle.

		The ILP was able to maintain a parliamentary presence until the 1945 general election, although thereafter limping along without direction or influence until 1975 when it ceased to exist as a political party.

		He declared that he wanted to form an "anti-guzzling league" and that the Labour Members should not accept the hospitality of the capitalist representatives whose only desire was to neutralise the hostility of the Labour Members in order to undermine their fighting qualities and influence with the workers outside.
		As a matter of fact he was dominated by the determination to be loyal to the Labour Party because he regarded it as the Party of the working class.
		You are dissatisfied with the Liberal Party on this or that question, just now, but you are not a socialist, and you would be out of your element with us." He constantly endeavoured to keep the Labour Party and the ILP away from co-operation with the bourgeoisie on any pretext.

		The ILP was a party of activists who were spread right round the country (unlike Marxists, who tended to congregate in London).
		He was disillusioned with the Labour Party because after 1906 when Labour emerged from the election with 30 MPs and was suddenly a feature of the political scene (and all the anti-socialist propaganda began which has not ceased to this day), so very little was actually accomplished.
		The ILP and many others believed in the vote and the representation of the working class in parliament and that this was going to substitute for the Commune and the barricades and the French Revolution's sad end in violence.
