==Disaffilliation and drift==
In 1932 the ILP 'disaffilliated' (broke away) from the Labour Party after arguments about party discipline and whether ILP [[MP]]s would accept the Labour Party whip. Party membership plummeted and continued to decline for decades, and by the late 1930s the ILP retained only 3 MPs, all for [[Glasgow]] constituencies. The remaining party members formed an uneasy coalition of pacifists and revolutionary socialists, hampered by further defections in the 1`930s, debates over whether to reaffilliate to the Labour Party, and an attempted take-over by Trotskyist elements. By 1939, the party had arranged a special conference to reapply for admission to the Labour Party, but this was overtaken by the outbreak of the [[Second World War]].
