Analyses of the relatively poor electoral performance of the Liverpool Labour Party up to 1939 have emphasised the exceptionally divisive nature of religious sectarianism in the city. This supposed exceptionalism of Liverpool in relation to the British labour movement is reconsidered in this thesis. Recent studies of working class politics recognise the importance of local economic and social structures in explaining variations in working class political allegiance. Working within this framework, the thesis suggests that the predominantly maritime character of Liverpool's economy and society gave rise to a distinctively structured working class. Using evidence from a survey of occupations in ten wards of the city, it argues that there was a marked differentiation in the working class by occupation as well as religion. A large number of casually employed workers on the waterfront could be distinguished from a regularly employed group. These two groups evolved their own characteristic patterns of work, community, and culture. A detailed examination of patterns of voting also shows that their political responses differed. The dockside communities were found to be more open to a range of political alternatives, rather than giving an unequivocal and early allegiance to the Labour Party. The thesis also investigates the particular form of gender division created in a predominantly casualised working class, and argues that the Labour Party failed to respond adequately to the political demands of women. Additionally, anomalies in the municipal electoral system between the wars are highlighted, and it is suggested that these particularly disadvantaged Labour in Liverpool. All these factors must be put alongside religious sectarianism in explaining the Liverpool Labour Party's electoral failure up to 1939.
