Encyclopedia > Keep Left

For the South African Trotskyist group of the same name see Keep Left (South Africa)


Keep Left was a pamphlet published in Britian in 1947 by the New Statesman, written by Michael Foot, Richard Crossman and Ian Mikardo that advocated a democratic socialist "third force" foreign policy – a socialist Europe acting independently from either the United States or the Soviet Union – against the pro-American foreign policy of Labour foreign secretary Ernest Bevin. It was a key statement of the Labour left's dissent from the 1945-51 Labour government.
