Maurice Bishop Patriotic Movement (MBPM) was a socialist political party in Grenada. It was organised by George Louison and Kendrick Radix, supporters of slain Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, after the US invasion of Grenada. Despite the popularity of the revolution with many Grenadians, the MBPM was a marginal force in the island's politics. Its strongest showing in parliamentary elections was 4.9 percent of the vote in 1984; however, this was not enough to win a seat. The party's last leader, Terrence Marryshow, merged the MBPM with another leftist party in 2002, creating the People's Labour Movement (PLM). After the 2003 elections in which the PLM failed to win a seat, it was widely regarded as a spent force.
