Can the Labour Party really change?
refoundinglabour.png As Labour’s national executive committee is all set to propose a path forward for reform of the Party, and with the announcement of Iain McNicol as Labour’s new general secretary, the Young Fabians today publish our submission to Pater Hain’s consultation on Labour Party reform.

The Young Fabian submission offers ideas on:

•    New styles of campaigning and organisation
•    Becoming a true national party
•    Improving Labour’s policy-making process
•    Innovations in YF member-led policy development
•    Membership growth – and utilising Labour’s affiliates, like the Fabian Society
•    Developing the highest quality CLPs




Young Fabians have been working on these issues for three years since our delegation to Ohio to campaign for Barack Obama. We published our ‘lessons learnt’ from the ground campaign shortly after our return. Last year we ran a member-led special project group called ‘Transforming our Party’, which built upon young people’s experiences with the Labour Party to develop ideas to revolutionise the way Labour functions; you can read it in The New Generation pamphlet.

Do let us know your thoughts here!
