====Contemporary usage==== The word "caucus" is only occasionally encountered in contemporary politics in the British Isles. In contrast to other [[Anglosphere]] nations, it is never used for all members of a party in Parliament: the usual term for that concept, both in the UK and [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], is "[[Parliamentary group|parliamentary party]]". When the term is used, it generally refers to a subgroup, [[political faction|faction]] or [[pressure group]] within a political party. For example, in 2019 the [[One Nation Conservatives (caucus)|One Nation Conservatives]] and [[Blue Collar Conservativism|Blue Collar Conservatives]] were established as factions within the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]], both being described as "caucuses".<ref>{{cite tweet |user=RichardHRBenyon |author-link=Richard Benyon |number=1130522197347508224 |date=20 May 2019 |title=So pleased and proud to be at a meeting of the One Nation Conservative Caucus.
