| | The Emergence of the Labour Party - Dr Henry Pelling |
| | 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. | | | This time Labour was allotted a seat in the small War Cabinet, which was given to Arthur Henderson. | | | Labour again formed governments in 1964, 1966, 1974 (twice) under Harold Wilson and finally (after Wilson’s retirement) under James Callahan. |

| | Jim Mortimer - Formation of the Labour Party |
| | Lenin was highly critical of the ILP, though not of all its leading people.25 In 1912, for example, he wrote sympathetically of Fred Jowett, a former textile worker who became a Labour MP and eventually a Cabinet Minister, and had been associated with the ILP from its founding conference in 1893. | | | The ILP articulated a preference for the independence of the political labour movement. | | | The 1906 General Election, though it marked a significant advance for Labour, demonstrated that the bulk of working class voters were still inclined to give their votes to other parties, particularly to the Liberals. |

| | The ILP and the Barnsley By-Election of 1897 |
| | In Barnsley in the same month locally important circumstances persuaded the trades council, which was to support the ILP in the by-election of 1897, to assist a Conservative blacksmith in depriving the miners’ leader William Parrott of his seat on the town council. | | | Willie Lunn stood at a by-election at Holmfirth in 1912 as a Labour candidate, and although he was defeated and failed to secure the support of many miners, his candidacy marked the end of the long electoral alliance between the Liberals and the YMA. | | | If the party was to make electoral progress it could do so only by superseding the Liberal Party, particularly by appealing to voters in strongly Liberal areas. |

| | How the British Labour Party was formed |
| | In Parliament politicians of both parties (Tories and Liberals) were active on the Employers' Parliamentary Council. | | | After a decade of attacks upon the trades union movement and little support from the Liberal Party it was time to act independently. | | | The franchise was gradually being extended to working class people, so that the two main capitalist parties - the Liberals and Tories - had to appeal to working class voters for the first time. |

| | He was always anxious to show a united front to the capitalist class and, having fought reaction in the Party Executive, he usually accepted the decision of the majority without making any public criticism of the reactionaries who so often gained the day. | | | But Keir Hardie does not deserve to be regarded as a folk-hero by the likes of Tony Blair. | | | MacDonald, the reformist-opportunist, had the majority of the Party with him; for the majority was not socialist. |

| | But he fought on against the war and for working class justice to the last few days of his life, which came in the middle of the war. | | | Non-socialist Labour Party members like most trade unionists supported the war wholeheartedly and were drawn in to the centre of government, as were many in the Labour Party itself. | | | The Labour Party of old would have been leading that but not the Labour Party of today. |

| | BBC - History - Independent Labour Party founded 1893 |
| | The Labour Party, as the LRC was known from this time, entered the wartime coalition government in 1915 and was reorganised in 1918, when a modern party organisation was established and a constitution drafted. | | | In 1900, the Labour Representation Committee was formed by a number of unions, the Independent Labour Party, the Fabian Society (founded 1884) and the Social Democratic Federation (founded in 1881 as a Marxist party), with the objective of promoting a separate parliamentary labour party. | | | While these groups did not always agree on the details of policy and strategy, the LRC met with considerable success in the 1906 General Election, when twenty-nine of its fifty candidates were elected (after an electoral pact with the Liberal Party). |

| | 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. | | | Following disaffiliation from the Labour Party, the ILP adopted a 'revolutionary' programme but lost most of its members and influence within the Labour movement, although it did maintain a political base in its stronghold of Glasgow. | | | However, the close relationship which the ILP enjoyed with the Labour Party was not to last, and eight years after contributing to the 1924 Labour government the ILP was to disaffiliate from the Labour Party. |

| | Most trade union officials, working class politicians and most of the people who helped in the formation of the ILP had previously been Radical Liberals. | | | ales were mainly working class, which meant it would be difficult for this new party to pick up useful support and votes because it's primary support would surely be working class being as that was who it was set up to help. | | | Coursework and Essays: By Level: GCSE: Politics: The Origins of the Independent Labour Part |
