The Red Front was an ostensibly broad coalition lead by the Revolutionary Communist Party which stood in the 1987 General Election and in some other byelections at the time.
Critics
The Red Front was not widely supported on the left. Among its critics the Alliance for Worker's Liberty described their campaign as 'by far the most incredibly stupid prank of all', granting however thaty they were 'more consitent' than the SWP in that they 'opposed a Labour vote'. 'They stood 14 candidates (which must have cost a lot of money), most of whom got around 200 votes - except in Knowsley North where they got 538'.[1]
