| | Labour Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The unease within the Party grew as the First World War went on, and this was reflected in a number of wildcat unofficial strikes organised by a Labour Party affiliate, the British Socialist Party. | | | Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s the party became split between moderate modernisers led by Hugh Gaitskell, which were associated with the main trade unions, and more traditional socialist elements within the party. | | | Peter Mandelson was a senior figure in this process, and exercised a great deal of authority in the party following the death of John Smith and the subsequent election of Tony Blair as party leader. |

| | Scottish Socialist Party fosters nationalist divisions |
| | Labour's shift to the right, epitomised by the ascent of Tony Blair and the party's subsequent renunciation of its constitutional commitment to social ownership of industry, convinced a majority of Militant supporters to abandon work in the party. | | | Their most notable success was the election of its leader Tommy Sheridan as a Glasgow city councillor, while imprisoned for his actions in opposing the Poll Tax. | | | In 17 council elections in Scotland, the Labour vote has fallen from 45 percent to 24 percent while the Scottish National Party vote has increased from 25 percent to 32 percent. |

| | Scottish Socialist Party in deep crisis |
| | The SSP’s courting of the Scottish nationalists and their shift to reformist politics, would sooner or later end in tears. | | | According to John Curtice of Strathclyde University, the SSP needs only to lose 1% of its vote at the next election to lose all its MSPs, except ironically Tommy Sheridan. | | | Sheridan was recently dumped as leader by a 19 – 0 vote by the party’s executive committee apparently over his mishandling of allegations about sexual infidelity with a party member that were to be published in the News of the World. |

| | The SSP are a party capable of taking votes away from the larger parties (Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Nationalists). | | | That seat was held by Sheridan, and after 2007 Sheridan may again be the SSP's only MSP; it would serve them right if he then left the SSP and founded his own socialist party. | | | The SSP is much more important in Scottish politics than its 6% of the vote would suggest. |
