Labour Representation League

Hide Profile

The Labour Representation League was founded in 1869, at the instigation of John Stuart Mill, as an offshoot of the Trades Union Congress, with the aim of securing the return of working men to parliament. In the election of 1874, the League fielded 12 candidates, two of whom were elected. The League eventually merged with the Liberal Party.
