the Militant Tendency

/ðə ˌmɪlɪtənt ˈtendənsi/
- an extreme left-wing group within the Labour Party in Britain, formed in the 1960s with policies based on Trotskyist principles. It began to gain influence in some constituencies and trade unions in the early 1980s, when it also controlled the city council in Liverpool. The group did a lot of damage to the reputation of the Labour Party, and in the 1980s the Labour leader Neil Kinnock forced its members to leave the party. Since then it has had little influence and no longer exists under the same name.
武装倾向：英国工党内部的一个极端左翼组织，成立于1960年代，其政策基于托洛茨基主义。它在1980年代初开始控制某些利物浦和工会，当时它还控制了利物浦市议会。该组织严重损害了工党的声誉，在1980年代，工党领袖尼尔·金诺克（Neil Kinnock）迫使其成员离开工党。从那以后，它几乎没有影响，不再以同一个名字存在。
