It has been alleged that no less than
five splits occurred off the Communist
Workers Group despite it having only
a handful of members to begin with.

Workers Voice or the RWL?:

join the Marxist Workers Group,
while other sources say they came
from the Revolutionary Workers
League. Since there were only about
4 MWG members, it's probably
not very important.
