The last General Election for which the RCP put up candidates was in April 1992.  In 1983 and 1987 the RCP manifestos was published as pamphlets by [[Junius Publications]] the party publishing company. In 1983 [[Preparing for Power]] ran to 53 pages and in 1987 the manifesto of [[The Red Front]] was 65 pages.  By contrast the 1992 manifesto -  [[Break out of the grey: Election manifesto of the Revolutionary Communist Party|Break out of the grey]] - was printed on a double sided A3 sheet with one side a poster featuring the candidates. When folded it formed eight pages of which the actual manifesto took up one and a half pages.  It concluded by advising 'we make no promises to our voters'.<ref name="grey">Revolutionary Communist Party [http://www.scribd.com/doc/173308312/Break-Out-of-the-Grey-Election-Manifesto-of-the-RCP-1992 Break out of the grey: Election manifesto of the Revolutionary Communist Party], 1992.</ref>  Eight candidates were offered for election including two in London and one each in Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow, Oxford, Manchester and Sheffield. Those still close to the [[LM Network]] included [[Kenan Malik]], [[Theresa Clifford]], [[Keith Tompson]] and [[Helene Gold]], the latter two of which were cadre names for [[Keith Teare]] and [[Helene Guldberg]] respectively.<ref name="grey"/>

The RCP also stood another candidate as an independent under the banner of [[Workers Against Racism]] in Holborn and St Pancras, though he was not mentioned in the official manifesto:
