Focusing on the Independent Labour Party (ILP), this book explores its significant yet often overlooked role in shaping the Labour movement in early twentieth-century Britain. The ILP contributed key figures, including Ramsay MacDonald, and played a crucial part in promoting parliamentary socialism. However, internal divisions during the First World War and the Labour Party's shift towards socialism in 1918 diminished the ILP's influence, marking its decline as the primary socialist entity in British politics.
