How Ed Miliband can redefine the Labour Party and Socialism
http://www.demo-critic.com/archives/285
Ed Miliband has on many occasions said “I am a Socialist” and has recently been caricatured as “Red Ed”, especially in light of the overwhelming support he received from the Trade Unions which helped to clinch the leadership for him. However, surely socialism was a failure consigned to the rubbish bin of history when the Berlin Wall came down? Is it not “progressive” politics beyond the anachronistic terms “left” and “right” which is the new fighting force for social democracy? Blairites and other advocates of the “Third Way” would say so but with the election of Ed Miliband this may be an opportunity for something special to happen.

How the Labour Party was formed
Socialism Today Issue 45, September 1999
(http://www.socialismtoday.org/45/labour.html)
One hundred years ago, on 27 February, 1900, a conference of trade unionists and socialist organisations met to establish the Labour Representation Committee, the forerunner of the Labour Party. This was to be a culminating step in a long struggle by workers in Britain to break with the Liberal Party and establish their own party. CHRISTINE THOMAS looks at how the Labour Party was formed and what relevance this has for the political struggle today.
