Co-operative Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The basic principles underpinning the party are to seek recognition for co-operative enterprises, recognition for the social economy, and to advance support for co-operatives and co-operation across Europe and the developing world. The Co-operative Party is a relatively small political party, the largest socialist party operating in the United Kingdom, after the Labour Party. It is the political arm of the wider British co-operative movement, and all members of the party must be members of a co-operative enterprise. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Co-operative_Party

Encyclopedia: The Labour Party (UK) The European Parliamentary elections of 2004 also saw a poor performance by the party; however, the performance of the main opposition Conservative Party has been lacklustre and has led to a widespread assumption that it is not in a position realistically to challenge for government in the general election expected in May 2005. The Labour Party was established at a special conference of the Trade Union Congress at the Memorial Hall, Farringdon Street, London on February 27, 1900. The party was concerned not to put off potential voters who had previously supported the Conservatives, and pledged to keep to the spending plans of the previous government, and not to increase the basic rate of income tax. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/The-Labour-Party-(UK)

Cooperative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the UK, co-operatives formed the Co-operative Party in the early 20th century to represent members of co-ops in Parliament. The Co-operative Party now has a permanent electoral pact with the Labour Party, and some Labour MPs are Co-operative Party members. UK co-operatives retain a significant market share in food retail, insurance, banking, funeral services, and the travel industry in many parts of the country. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Co-operative

The Post War World In 1996 a new Agreement was reached between the Labour Party and the CU which recognised the Co-operative Party in Europe as the political Party of the Co-operative Movement and updated the former arrangements. Ever since the Co-operative Party was formed in Chelmsford in 1943 individual members have had a presence within the Society’s Board Room; they may well have been in a minority but the Board of Directors and the membership, have continued to see the value of maintaining a political voice. The composition of the Party’s National Executive Committee reflects the Movement and is made up of elected members from its regional sections, representatives from the Central Executive of the CU, the CWS, the Parliamentary Group of Co-operative MPs, the European Parliamentary Co-operative Group, the Co-operative Press, the Women’s Guild and Scottish Women’s Guild. website.lineone.net /~co-operative/Party/history_the_post_war_world.htm

Socialist societies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Co-operative Party is a separate political party with an electoral agreement with the Labour Party and acts as a Socialist Society. Affiliation means that the socialist societies - like a number of British trade unions - pay an affiliation fee to the Labour Party, and the affiliates' members become affiliated members of the Labour Party (a different status from full member), unless they specifically choose otherwise. The best-known socialist society is the Fabian Society, founded in 1884, some years before the creation of the Labour Party itself (in which the Society participated). www.americancanyon.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Socialist_societies

Lords Hansard text for 18 Oct 2000 (201018-22) Perhaps the Minister will confirm that when it comes to national and local campaigning limits the Co-operative Party and the Labour Party are taken as one entity. However, at this stage of a Parliament, I would expect a prudent party treasurer to be operating on the basis that we are already inside the relevant period and to be planning the party's campaign expenditure accordingly. The Labour and Conservative Parties each supplied figures to the Neill committee setting out their campaign expenditure in the run-up to the 1997 election. www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk /pa/ld199900/ldhansrd/vo001018/text/01018-22.htm

Casino Encyclopedia The party had a strong Scottish theme, and the kilt was considered to be one of the party's symbols. The party's logo, the head of a medieval court jester, was indicative of McGillicuddy Serious's status as a joke party. Later recruits to the party, however, sometimes saw the party's satire in a more serious context, believing that it was a tool by which the political establishment could be ridiculed and challenged. www.casinoencyclopedia.com /index.php?title=McGillicuddy_Serious_Party

welcome.asp?id=462&mode=printerfriendly At a recent Co-operative Party policy seminar, the Prime Minister gave his backing to the values and principles of co-operation. "The Labour Party is listening to us and genuinely looking at ways of incorporating co-operative and mutual solutions into the development of their manifesto and campaign for a third term.

The Sheepshed Co-operative Provident & Industrial Society The Co-operative Party was therefore formed to put co-operators into Parliament and onto local councils alongside Labour members. When the Labour Party was formed, many co-operators joined them but Co-ops wanted a more direct input, perhaps to defend their interests head on. Co-ops, the Society felt it was part of a new dawn - a Co-operative Commonwealth where everything would combine in common ownership. home.freeuk.net /garendon/shepshed.htm

The Scotsman - Top Stories - Labour rebels in plot to scupper PR deal The Scotsman can reveal that Labour councillors and back-bench Westminster MPs are discussing plans to revive the Co-operative Party as an independent political force with the aim of joining forces with it in a coalition in 2007.

Lords Hansard text for 18 Oct 2000 (201018-16) I had always assumed that a Labour Party and Co-operative Party candidate was a candidate within the Labour Party, which was, in effect, sponsored by the Co-operative Party. The noble Viscount will understand that the Co-operative Party is a separate party in its own right. For example, if a printing company printed 200,000 election leaflets for a party and another 200,000 newsletters to be sent to party members only, it would be appropriate to account for only the cost of the 200,000 election leaflets as notional expenditure. www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk /pa/ld199900/ldhansrd/vo001018/text/01018-16.htm

BBC NEWS Scotland Labour MP backs joint party move His blueprint would see the Co-operative Party, but not Labour, fielding list candidates in those areas, while in areas like north east Scotland or the Highlands it would be for Labour Party members to decide whether to field list candidates or not. Under a proposal floated by Ian Davidson, the Co-operative Party would seek list seats at the 2007 Scottish elections as a party in its own right. Under the present arrangement, said Mr Davidson, a list vote for Labour was effectively wasted across much of Scotland, as the party's dominance in first-past-the-post votes in areas like Glasgow all but guaranteed it would win no list seats there. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/scotland/3622453.stm
