red wedge

Red Wedge was a collective of UK musical artists who attempted to inform younger voters of the Labour Party's policies during the period leading up to the 1987 General Election. It was also an attempt to oust the Conservative Government and what was then deemed as their extreme policies. Fronted by Billy Bragg, Paul Weller and The Communards (Jimmy Sommerville mainly) they appeared in the media, adding their support to the Labour Party campaign. The group was launched on November 21, 1985, at a reception at the Palace of Westminster hosted by Labour MP Robin Cook. It took its name from a 1919 poster by Russian constructivist artist El Lissitzky, "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge".
