Note 44 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
Supra cit., p. 71.
Some of the I.L.P. members are Continental in their views. The president of the party used these words in his address, 1910: "All this jiggery-pokery of party government played like a game for ascendency and power is no use to us" (supra cit., p. 35). The discipline of the Labor Party was unable to keep half a dozen of its ablest debaters from fighting the Insurance Bill. The reversion of the radical Socialist element to the I.L.P. is by some observers considered not unlikely. Then the liberal or réformiste element will become either a faction of the Liberal-Radical party or melt entirely away as the Chartists did in 1844.
