From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nick Wrack was the registered leader of the Respect coalition, a British political party. He is a qualified barrister, and was formerly the chair of the now defunct Socialist Alliance.

He was formerly a long time member of the Militant Tendency, a Trotskyist faction within the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, often accused of entryist tactics. Wrack spent some time working for the group's eponymous newspaper as a journalist. He became Militant's editor in 1994 but resigned when the group changed its name to the Socialist Party in 1997. Subsequently he qualified at the Bar and became a practising barrister.
