Thanks! Just one more thing...

The idea behind the co-operative movement is simple: we believe businesses and organisations should be owned by their members – not distant shareholders.

Whether that’s workers owning their workplace, customers owning their local shop, or fans owning their football club, we want to create an economy that builds communities, where power and ownership are shared.

That’s why our movement founded the Co-operative Party and, for nearly a century, we’ve had an electoral pact with the Labour Party. Together, we elect joint Labour & Co-operative representatives, giving our ideas influence where it matters – in Parliament, on councils and in communities across the UK.

We’re an independent political party and, as a member, you can help shape our platform, policies and campaigns like this one. Join the Co-operative Party today from just £3 a month.
