Independent Labour Party
Independent Labour Party (ILP) British socialist organization. It was founded at Bradford in 1893 under the leadership of Keir
HARDIE. Its aim was to achieve equality in society by the application of socialist doctrines. The
ILP was one of the constituent groups of the Labour Representation Committee (1900), which in 1906 became the
LABOUR PARTY. A split developed between the
ILP and the Labour Party between the two World Wars. The sympathy of the
ILP for communism, its pacifism, and its theoretical approach to politics were regarded as electoral liabilities by leading Labour politicians; from 1939 its influence declined.
