Work on it.

Just did a little research. The Communist Party of Great Britain did have two seats in Parliament in 1945, but they lost their seats in the 1950 elections. They never won elections on the national level again.

Although they weren't Marxist in its early years, the Socialist Party of America also had two members in Congress through much of the 1910s and 1920s. They also had seats in state legislatures and there were Socialist mayors of Milwaukee up until the 1960s.

I can understand why Greece and Spain have such strong Communist parties. They both endured fascist and military dictatorships, and with Greece, a very nasty civil war between Communists and Royalists. However, you don't see too many serious Marxist-Leninist parties on the other side of the old Iron Curtain though. Most reformed into social democratic parties or they entirely disbanded. I think the one that never changed was the Czech Communist Party. They're still in parliament, but virtually no other party wants anything to do with them. As my Czech friend jokes, you'd be hard to find anyone below the age of 70 who votes for them.

anything is better than the BNP gaining power, I mean the only reason my home city is doing so good is because of immigation
