== Early Years ==
Coates was born in Leek, Staffordshire and was brought up in Worthing, West Sussex.〔Palmer, J. 'Ken Coates obituary' ''The Guardian Online'' 29 June 2010 - http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2010/jun/29/ken-coates-obituary〕 When called up for national service in 1948, Coates chose to became a coal miner rather than be conscripted into the British army to fight in the Malayan Emergency.〔 He later won a scholarship in 1956 to Nottingham University and achieved a first in Sociology.〔Kenneth Coates ''The Telegraph Online'' 22 August 2010 - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/politics-obituaries/7958792/Kenneth-Coates.html〕
After the war, he joined the Communist Party of Great Britain but left following the breach between Joseph Stalin and Josip Broz Tito, whom he defended. After the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary, Coates and Pat Jordan became the focal point of a group of Marxists with a developing interest in Trotskyism. After attending the fifth world congress of the Fourth International in 1958, of which they were very critical, Coates played a central role in founding the International Group, forerunner of the International Marxist Group.
Coates also played leading roles in the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation (BRPF), the Institute for Workers' Control, and European Nuclear Disarmament. He contested Nottingham South in 1983, but lost by several thousand votes.
