Creation of The Present Labour Party
Despite the differences between the ULP Remnant and the SDP, the two worked together in Parliament after the 1914 election. Alfred Hindmarsh of the ULP served as a de facto leader of the six labour-aligned MPs. Gradually, this increased co-operation caused the ULP Remnant and the SDP to conclude that full unification was not impossible, and in 1916, the two finally came together (along with various independents) to form the Labour Party, which still survives today.
