	SNP. Who is SNP? What is SNP? Where is SNP? Definition of SNP. Meaning of SNP.
		The SNP's early years were characterised by a lack of electoral progress and it wasn't until 1945 that the SNP's first member was elected to the UK parliament at Westminster.
		The SNP continued to ride high in the opinion polls throughout the 1970s, and many members are convinced that if the Liberals, led by David Steel hadn't supported the Labour Government of the time, the SNP might have made further electoral gains in the resulting general election.
		This group sought to ensure that the primary objective of the SNP was campaigning for independence regardless of any traditional left-right ideology, and if it had been successful would have undone the work of figures such as Billy Wolfe moving the SNP to become a clearly defined social-democratic party in the 1970s.

	The End of an Enduring Alliance? Trade Union-Labour Relations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The unions and Labour were believed by most until recently to have a relationship that went together like fish and chips or bread and butter; organic, symmetrical and ever lasting in the slow pursuit of progressive common goals.
		The unions were the economic wing of the "labour and trade union movement", the Labour Party the political wing of the "labour and trade union movement".
		Unions are leading the political opposition to Labour and are likely to remain so as long as Labour is in power and the Tories and Liberals stay weak.

	The Citizen / Campaign for Socialism
		The obvious argument for maintaining the traditional Trade Union/ Labour party link of 'Better the devil you know...' has been an all too familiar tactic employed by New Labour over the years; where trade unions and party members have been threatened with the spectre of the Tories to ensure their acquiescence with otherwise unpalatable policies.
		On several occasions, representatives of the FBU met with the Labour Trade Union Group and, whilst some of these meetings were fractious, as you would expect, points were made and debated.
		This can be strengthened by trade union members attending local branch and CLP meetings to help reinvigorate the party at grassroots level and to push for more radical programmes.
