why do you persist in using a term not in use in this country.
some people don't learn from their mistakes
99% of people in this country will instantly recognise the word 'traveller' to mean something else, the 'fellow' means nowt to them.
Your guess.
Why do you persist in pretending that it is not?
Some people don't learn when things are explained to them. They carry on pretending that they have not heard the explanation in order to prolong a petty dispute and to persist in showing how stupid they are.some people don't learn from their mistakes
See below.
Mmmm.
Just saying.
Obviously you will claim you are using the first definition but that will not detract from the British ones.
And obviously you will once again be a huge prat trying to claim that words can only ever mean what you want them too.
You'll even be so shamefully pathetic and egregiously offensive as to think you can validly look at part of a term and claim that defines the whole term. There's essentially no difference between you and Winston in your insulting madness. He refuses to see the word "electronic", you refuse to see "fellow".
It's "fellow traveller", EFLI - don't be a f***wit.

For the novel Fellow Travelers, see Thomas Mallon. For the opera based on Mallon's novel, see Fellow Travelers (opera).
The term fellow traveller (also fellow traveler) identifies a person who is intellectually sympathetic to the ideology of a political organization, and who co-operates in the organization's politics, without being a formal member of that organization.[1] In the early history of the Soviet Union, the Bolshevik revolutionary Trotsky coined the term poputchik ('one who travels the same path') to identify the vacillating intellectual supporters of the Bolshevik régime. Likewise for the political characterisation of the Russian intelligentsiya (writers, academics, and artists) who were philosophically sympathetic to the political, social, and economic goals of the Russian Revolution of 1917, but who chose to not join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Moreover, during the Stalinist régime, the usage of the term poputchik disappeared from political discourse in the Soviet Union, but the Western world adopted the English term fellow traveller to identify people who sympathised with the Soviets and with Communism.[2]
In U.S. politics, during the 1940s and the 1950s, the term fellow traveler was a pejorative term for a person who was philosophically sympathetic to Communism, yet was not a formal, "card-carrying member" of the American Communist Party. In political discourse, the term fellow traveler was applied to intellectuals, academics, and politicians who lent their names and prestige to Communist front organizations.
In European politics, the equivalent terms for fellow traveller are: Compagnon de route and sympathisant, in France; Weggenosse and Sympathisant in Germany; and compagno di viaggio in Italy.[3]

What's the meaning of the phrase 'Fellow traveller'?
Someone sympathetic toward a certain point of view without being a fully paid-up member of the club.
What's the origin of the phrase 'Fellow traveller'?
In its literal meaning 'fellow traveller' just means someone who travels with you. It was first applied to non-communists who were inclined toward the views of the Communist Party by Leon Trotsky. He used the Russian word popútchik to indicate that. The term 'fellow traveller' in this sense came rather later, in the New York publication Nation, 1936:
"The new phenomenon is the fellow-traveler. The term has a Russian background and means someone who does not accept all your aims but has enough in common with you to accompany you in a comradely fashion part of the way. In this campaign both Mr. Landon and Mr. Roosevelt have acquired fellow-travelers."

I expect we'll soon see EFLI trying to claim that the only meaning we can ascribe to "fellow" is that of an academic teaching position in a university.
