| | Labour Party (UK) Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography |
 | | The Labour Party is a membership organisation consisting of Constituency Labour Parties, affiliated trade unions and socialist societies, including the Co-operative Party, with which it has an electoral agreement. | | | The Liberal split, accompanied by this fundamental change in the system, allowed the Labour Party to co-opt some of The Liberals support, and by the 1922 general election Labour had supplanted the Liberal Party as the main opposition to the Conservatives. | | | The Labour Party's origins lie in the late 19th century, when it became apparent that there was an increasing need for a third party in Britain to represent the interests and needs of the large working-class population (for instance, the 1899 Lyons vs. Wilkins judgement that limited certain types of picketing). |

| | Henry Minde: The Saami Movement, the Norwegian Labour Party and Saami Rights |
| | On the background of the increasing interests for the Saami demands, the opposition in the Labour Party arranged a Saami political conference in Finnmark before the Storting election in the summer of 1981. | | | The Labour Party Government appointed in the autumn of 1973 one of the leaders of the Saami political opposition in Finnmark, the Saami Ole K. Sara, as a permanent secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture. | | | The ambivalent relations of the Saami Movement with the Labour Party can be seen as a consequence of the widespread attitudes against the Saami Movement to be found within the County Party and the strong position the Party at the same time had in Finnmark. |

| | A LEFT CRITIQUE OF THE SOCIALIST LABOUR PARTY |
| | On the question of public ownership, he pointed out that the Labour Party had 'long ago accepted a mixed economy for the foreseeable future', and that it should be made clear that nationalisation was not the 'be-all and end-all' of Labour policy". | | | Again, from its foundation the Labour Party made it clear that it was firm supporter of the British Empire. | | | Regarded from this, the only correct, point of view, the Labour Party is a thoroughly bourgeois party because, although made up of workers, it is led by reactionaries, and the worst kind of reactionaries at that, who act in the spirit of the bourgeoisie. |

| | The emergence of the Socialist Labour Party |
| | On the basis of its monopoly profits, and the bribing of its labour aristocracy, the bourgeoisie of each imperialist country secures for itself a bourgeois labour party. | | | As a result, Labour dropped all such commitments in the expectation that the lower strata would, encouraged by the pseudo-Marxists, vote for it anyway, as they have no affinity for any other party. | | | What made the Labour Party for him indistinguishable from the Tories and the Liberal Democrats was not the practice but the pretence of the Labour Party, whose constitutional acceptance of the social ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange mattered more to him than the observance of this constitution in its flagrant breach. |

| | As early as 1902 the Socialist Party flitted with the conservative party, called Liberals in Belgium, in the midst of the general strike. | | | The Socialist Party could thus not become a complete slave to parliamentarism: although one Walloon worker has equal power with one conservative Flemish farmer in elections, the former is incomparably stronger than the latter in the economic arena. | | | A deep-going factor affecting the structure of the Belgian labour movement is the national-religious-political cleavage in the country. |

It arises from the process of transformation of the mass organisations, which does not develop in a straight line, but in a contradictory, dialectical, fashion. |
