1918 Election
Three members of the party were elected to Parliament in the 1918 election; Dan Irving and Will Thorne were elected for the Labour Party, and Jack Jones under the National Socialist Party name.
In 1919, the group changed its name to the Social Democratic Federation, reverting to the name that the British Socialist Party had previously used. At one point there were eleven MPs, but after the death of Hyndman in 1921, the group gradually dissolved into the Labour Party. It finally disbanded in 1941.
Other notable members included H. W. Lee, Hunter Watts, John Stokes and Joseph Burgess.

Famous quotes containing the word election:
“Well, I am chiefly interested in the renomination, so don’t get disconsolate over that. If we lost the election I shall feel that the party is rejected, whereas if I fail to secure the renomination it will be a personal defeat.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
