Socialist Equality Party (UK)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Socialist Equality Party is a Trotskyist political party in England. It is part of the International Committee of the Fourth International, which publishes the World Socialist Web Site.
The party's origins lie in the Workers Revolutionary Party (WRP) until the majority of that party split from the ICFI in 1986. A group in the WRP supported the ICFI and left the WRP. Initially known as the Workers Revolutionary Party (Internationalist), they soon became the International Communist Party, based in Sheffield. They stood in several elections before renaming themselves in 1996, in line with other members of the international group.
