Labour Representation League

Labour Representation League

"Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 May 16The Labour Representation League, organised in 1869, was a forerunner of the British Labour Party. Its original purpose was to register the working class to vote, and get workers into Parliament. It had limited power and was never intended to become a full political party, but played a role in supporting the election of Lib-Lab MPs.
