The British Labour Party (the Labour Representation Committee as was called at its beginning) which was established as a loose federation of a number of trades unions and socialist societies in 1900 was a direct outcome of the revival of socialism and the movement of New Unionism in the last two decades of 19th century. From this point of view, we may well consider that the British Labour Party was originally the party of socialistic movement which was fundamentally of extra-parliamentary character. Neverthless, as a matter of fact, the Labour Party was unexpectedly transformed into a parliamentary party such as the Conservative or Liberal Party. "By the time the Parliamentary Labour Party had", as R.T. Mckenzie says, "taken office in 1924 its transformation was almost complete." This article intends to analyse the internal reasons or causes of this transformation whereas the external factors are usually emphasized. Thus this article consists of the following Chapters : Preface I. The characteristics and limits of party leadership. II. The rises of Syndicalism and Guild Socialism. III. The First World War and the Attempt at the Reconstruction of the Party. Conclusion.
