"British Left"

I'd like to replace this with a page boasting a better name (List of Left-Wing Parties in the United Kingdom or something of the like). Does anyone agree with me that this is required? The Last Melon 23:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

There is already a list of left-wing parties in the Political Parties of the UK page. I created this page so there could be a more descriptive entry of parties on the left in the UK. The list is lacking in information about them such as popularity and ideology.--Darrelljon 19:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Another article comparing them (by votes, members, newspapers, roots, age) may be appropriate.--Darrelljon 21:19, 4 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Gramatically, though, "British left" leaves something to be desired. Even "British Left" would be slightly better. The Last Melon 01:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Labour? Left? What??? Your definition of left needs revising and your understanding of the Labour Party needs updating Asha28 (talk) 17:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oh, beg pardon. You put in a '(formerly)'. Still, I think the article should reflect current positions. Asha28 (talk) 17:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Neither are 'New Labour' to be honest. They have fallen FAR from the Socialist tree of late and I'd put them more slightly right of centre. (Run by millionaires, expenses scandals, cash for questions, corporate control, TUC corruption, etc.) 81.110.230.38 (talk) 00:54, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Confusingly worded content removed

I've reverted these additions because the grammar is confusing, and due to the lack of cited sources, I can't figure out what the contributor meant. If someone understands what was meant, feel free to reintroduce the text with a different wording (citing sources would be helpful as well). -kotra (talk) 01:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Critiques section

Considering the number of polemical articles written, this section may be something of a mistake. I propose simply removing it. --Nixin06 (talk) 09:38, 5 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Delete or merge. Not sure this will ever be able to be kept substantially up-to-date without overlap with History of the socialist movement in the United Kingdom.--Darrelljon (talk) 12:15, 26 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
