Information About

Communist Labour Party (uk)




Under the influence of John Maclean , the group was provisionally named the ''Scottish Communist Party''. However, its founding conference, which Maclean did not attend, renamed it the Communist Labour Party. It also decided that it should remain a provisional body with the aim of joining the Communist Party Of Great Britain (CPGB), a position championed by Willie Gallacher . His positions defeated, Maclean left the group and instead joined the SLP. The Communist Labour Party then joined the CPGB, along with the remainder of the CP(BSTI) in January 1921 .
