History of the British Labour Party

The Labour Party is a left-and center-left political party in the United Kingdom. The Labour Party was founded in 1900 by trade unions. From the 1920s onwards, it was ahead of the Liberal Party and became one of the two main parties in the United Kingdom together with the Conservative Party. It traditionally welcomes a wide variety of opinions, from strongly socialist to social-democratic, but it did take a centrist turn in the 1990s and 2000s under the leadership of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, who were in power from 1997 to 2010. However, the election of Jeremy Corbyn, a member of the radical wing of the party and very critical of Blair’s balance sheet, to head the party in September 2015 marked a return to left.

British Labour Party Policies

The Labour Party is currently the official opposition in the House of Commons and the Scottish Parliament and leads a minority government in Wales. The Labour Party was originally founded as a means for trade unions to be represented in the British Parliament. It did not claim to be a socialist until the first statutes of the party were adopted in 1918. This socialist element, the original “Clause IV,” claimed the nationalization of “means of production, distribution, and exchange.” Although a third of British industry was nationalized after World War II, the party right began to question the goal of expanding public ownership in the 1950s, especially around Party leader Hugh Gaitskell.

Bristol Labour Party

An attempt to amend “Clause IV” failed in 1959, and it was only under Tony Blair’s leadership in 1994 that the goal of nationalizing the economy was suppressed in the belief that it alienated potential electors. The Labour Party’s election manifestos since 1992 no longer contain the word “socialism”. The new version of “Clause IV,” although still affirming the attachment to democratic socialism, no longer mentions the public ownership of industry. Instead, it argues for “the market enterprise and the rigor of competition “with” quality public services ” themselves not necessarily within the public sector.
