Red Front was a socialist electoral coalition in the United Kingdom which stood fourteen candidates in the 1987 general election.
[1] Its main component was the Revolutionary Communist Party of Frank Furedi, while it also attracted the support of the tiny Revolutionary Democratic Group, Red Action and a few independents.
The RCP was hugely optimistic about its potential and spoke of it in time replacing the Labour Party as the main left wing force in British politics.
