Welcome to the Co-operative Party

The Co-operative Party is the Party of social justice.

We believe that people will achieve more by working together than they can by working alone. We support the efforts of those who seek success through that co-operative endeavour.

We believe that the only way to create a just and fair society is through power being spread evenly throughout society, and not arbitrarily based on wealth, class, gender or race.

We work to promote co-operatives and all forms of mutual organisation.

We work in partnership with the Labour Party as its sister party to achieve these ends. There are currently 28 Labour/Co-operative MPs including Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, as well as seven other Government ministers.

The Co-operative Party - politics for people

The Co-operative Party stands for fair trade, for ethical business and for people having a say in the running of their communities.
