  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.
The relationship between the ILP and the Labour Party was characterised by conflict.
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.

 New Labour
Labour’s transformation reflects an obvious shift in the balance of power in favor of right-reformist neo-liberal politics at the expense of left-reformist social democratic politics (Heffernan 2000, 71).
New Labour’s reform of the welfare state is being motivated by Blair’s belief that “welfare needs of today are not being met by the welfare state of yesterday” (Annesley 2001, 206), and that the generous welfare systems traditionally put forward by social democratic parties “lock people in idleness and dependency” (Clift 2001, 65).
Labour’s shift away from old social democratic means and ends has been accompanied, as I have tried to demonstrate throughout, by a shift to a greater neo-liberalism and conservatism in its economic and social policy.

It recognised the decline, in the face of neo-liberal attack and trade union retreat, of the independent labour support groups, and their frequent over-engagement with (not necessarily incorporation by) the institutionalised union movement, nationally and internationally.
If labour wishes to achieve its own specific ends it is going to have to not only ally externally with the other indicated movements (and other such that may exist or appear) but to internalise the issues raised by the others.
With the increasing centrality of communicati on and culture to social life, the labour movement has to not only value and support the pluralisation and democratisation of this area, but to understand its logic, to learn the skills, and to recognise that any new labour internationalism is going to largely be a communications internationalism.

The behaviour of Labour’s leading players has driven the audience away; the distinctive message of the secondary parts cannot be heard above the leadership’s increasingly hollow-sounding voices.

The Lib Dems are not a powerful enough progressive force to halt the advance of a renewed racist right (through both the BNP and the increasingly desperate Tories), an advance that has been boosted by the poisonous political atmosphere created by Blair and Blunkett’s wars against terrorism and asylum seekers.

The extraordinary show of organised and politically disenfranchised public opinion seen in the anti-war demonstrations of 15 February 2003 is one sign of the increase in the international cohesiveness and density of progressive civil society.
Participatory public administration, whether in Brazil or Italy, in which the power of elected politicians is genuinely augmented by participation, is one example of a source of power to deepen democracy that is rooted in civil society.
As I write, public opinion and organisation is increasingly polarised and increasingly militarised, which presents major obstacles for the development of broadly based sources of civil power.

 Feb 2005: Workers Protest Petition in Iran   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Thus the right to organise and to have organisations independent of the state has never been more pressing.
Furthermore, the legislators in Iran, having exempted workshops of less than 5 to 10 workers and carpet-weavers from the Labour Law (from 30 Articles of the Law), are now aiming to deprive all workers on temporary contracts from a minimum of social security.
Clearly, Iranian workers who, deprived of their independent organisations, have always witnessed the imposition of anti-labour laws in breach of ILO Conventions, will not recognise a memorandum in whose drawing up and signing their representatives have not taken part.
