Abstract
British trade unions, comprising now almost eight million members, are the most important single element in the Labour party. Out of its total membership of 5,422,437 in 1948, 4,751,030 members were furnished by the trade unions. The Labour party, it must be remembered furthermore, derives its original authority from the Trades Union Congress, when in 1899 it authorized the establishment of the Labour Representation Committee, which became the Labour party in 1906. The trade unions thus not only officially support one political party but are committed to a programme envisaging the ultimate establishment of socialism in Great Britain.
