After a year-and-a-half long process and the input of hundreds of Party members, last weekend at our annual conference the Co-operative Party launched its draft manifesto for the next general election. This will be used as the basis for discussion with our sister party in the coming months - and form the core of the election document whenever it is held over the next 8 months.
We want to:
- change the way we do business
- create a new international settlement
- create sustainable communities
- develop people based public services
Our Values & Principles
A co-operative is defined as an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically controlled enterprise.
The co-operative movement is based on a set of values and principles - read them here.
