	Labour Party Conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Labour Party Conference, or annual national conference of the Labour Party, is formally the supreme decision-making body of the Party.
		The 2004 party conference was held in Brighton during the final week of September.
		Conference rejected a call for withdrawal from Iraq, but accepted a resolution calling for renationalization of the railways; the leadership declared that it would ignore this.

	New Zealand Labour Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Labour Party was an amalgamation of a number of early groups, the oldest of which was founded in 1901.
		Almost immediately, the new Labour Party became involved in the acrimonious debate about conscription, which arose during World War I — the Labour Party strongly opposed conscription, and a number of its leaders were jailed for their stand against it.
		Labour was defeated again in the next two elections, but in the 1972 election, the party gained a significant victory.

	Labour Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus the Labour party returned to government with a wafer-thin majority under Harold Wilson in the 1964 election, was confirmed with a larger majority soon after, and remained in power until the 1970 election.
		Labour in the 1960s did introduce several new laws reflecting the changing times: the partial legalisation of homosexuality and abortion, the abolition of the death penalty and various legislation addressing race relations and racial discrimination.
		During this time the Labour Party emphasised the abandonment of its links to high taxation and old-style nationalisation, which aimed to show that the party was moving away from the left wing of the political spectrum and towards the centre.

	Labour Party (UK) - Voyager, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Labour Party's origins lie in the late 19th century, when it became apparent that there was an increasing need for a third party in Britain to represent the interests and needs of the large working-class population (for instance, the 1899 Lyons vs. Wilkins judgement that limited certain types of picketing).
		The Conference created an association called the Labour Representation Committee, and it was to have acted as a body coordinating attempts to elect to Parliament members who had been sponsored by trade unions as representing the working-class population.
		The ILP under James Maxton disaffiliated from the Labour Party in 1932, removing a substantial proportion of the left of the party from membership.

	Britain: Labour Party conference prostrate before Blair
		This week’s conference of the Labour Party underscored its moribund and sclerotic character.
		Against this backdrop, the media concluded, the Labour conference would be up in arms at the prime minister for his discrediting of the party, and Blair would have to appear humble and contrite.
		Labour conferences are stitched up affairs that bear no resemblance to the wishes and aspirations of working people.

		Conference also notes that the invasion and occupation of Iraq, despite its doubtful legality in international law, was originally justified on the basis of the threat of weapons of mass destruction.
		Conference notes that the BNP were stopped from gaining any seats in the European Parliament or London Assembly, after a concerted campaign by Unite Against Fascism saw an increased turnout in both the European Parliament elections and London elections.
		Conference believes that Labour’s commitment to defeat racism and the far right will once again be crucial in the run up to next year’s general election where the BNP will be hoping to increase their geographical spread of the vote.

		The conference remained subdued throughout, almost as if clapping too loudly or coughing would be seen as a mark of disrespect for all those who died on Sept-ember 11.
		There is a great deal of disillusionment, discouragement, doubt and dissent at the base of the party, and had it not been for September 11, the government would have had a much rougher ride at this year’s conference.
		Next year’s conference will surely be different, but much depends on the ability of trade unionists between now and then to hold their leadership to account.

	2003 Labour Party Conference - Blarism on the rocks
		Even and despite the decay afflicting the Tory Party, if the Blair government remains on its present path, growing disillusionment and anger mean that electoral turnout will fall again, and, even without a significant recovery by the Tories, Labour could lose enough seats for the Tories to creep back in at the next general election.
		Despite this 'mid-term effect' Labour was able to gain a majority in the Welsh Assembly elections earlier in the year simply by advocating a few minor reforms, most notably the abolition of prescription charges.
		Far more Labour voters protested by not voting - more than half of those who had voted Labour in 2001 did not vote at all - and the same will be the case in the next general election.

		Gordon Brown, meanwhile, will be expected to deliver one of his now traditional prime ministerial performances to remove any fresh doubts over his "natural" succession and remind the party why he is still their man and bearer of the Labour soul.
		The left-wing Campaign Group, while not a major force in the parliamentary party, echoed that wider feeling with a statement declaring Mr Blair had "at most" 24 months left in office and planned a "scorched earth" programme of New Labour policies before it departed the scene and entered Labour history.
		What the prime minister will also want to remind his party of - albeit in a non-triumphalist fashion - is the fact he has just led them to an historic, third consecutive election victory.
