Category talk:Communist parties of the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bit confused about the definition here: we could just include parties calling themselves Communist Party. But at present there are other groups. In which case presumably all the Trotskyist groups could/should also be added?--XmarkX 01:00, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] UK or Britain
Shouldn't this be changed to "Communist parties in Britain", since British communist organizations generally don't have any branches in Northern Ireland? Otherwise all the Irish CPs need to be added to the category, which would be bad since most of them already carry triple-categories. --Soman 17:35, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Seeing as it's still CPs of the UK, I'll try to add as many Irish ones as I can find at the moment. 144.32.128.13 22:05, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
UK is a term not accepted by most Communist Parties because it includes "Northern Ireland" which they would regard as an occupied territory. Therefore only Irish Parties may organise in Ireland (meaning the whole island of Ireland). If Irish Parties and British Parties must be in this section, then the correct title would be "Communist Parties in Britain and Ireland" or "Communist Parties in the British Isles" the latter being much less favoured.
[edit] Communist Party?
The "Co-ordinating Committee of Communist Parties in Britain" is not a Party. It is part of the International Department of the Communist Party of Britain which meets with British branches of overseas CPs. It has no status within the other Parties; only within the CPB. It should not be in this section as a Party.
