La gauche radicale britannique dans les années 1970 :un acteur majeur ?

Abstract

The radical left has been a permanent, albeit marginal, feature of British politics since the Russian Revolution. It has rarely been a threat to the Labour Party or the mainstream of the trade union movement. The 1970s are a partial exception to this general trend. Communist and Trotskyist organisations played a prominent role in industrial disputes and the fight against the extreme right. However, their influence was short-lived and limited to a certain number of precise areas, and they were unable to establish themselves electorally.
