Changes

'''Militant Tendency''' was a group of [[Trotskyist]]s within the [[Labour Party]], organised around the newspaper 'Militant' and led by [[Ted Grant]], a former leader of the [[Revolutionary Communist Party (UK)]]. It achieved some strength in certain constituency Labour Parties in the 1970s and early '80s, deselecting right-wing and centrist Labour [[MP]]s and parliamentary candidates and replacing them with more ideologically acceptable candidates, and it was also able to gain control of [[Liverpool]] City Council in the early 1980s. In 1985 the Labour Party leader [[Neil Kinnock]] expelled Militant leaders from the party, and began a process of rooting out others. In 1991 the last remaining members withdrew from the Labour Party.
