The Labour Party is a British Social Democratic political party. The party still pays lip service to many typical left-wing values and, along with all the main political parties in the UK, is pro-abortion, pro-homosexual "rights" and pro- gun control. Typically the Labour Party is in favour of greater spending on public services via higher taxation relative to its main political rivals. The Labour Party was founded in 1900, and currently forms Her Majesty's Opposition, being the largest party in the UK not currently in government. The new leader since April 2020 is Keir Starmer. The Labour Party holds non-voting observer status in the Socialist International. Contents

History
Origins
The Labour Party was formed out of an alliance of several prominent left-wing and socialist movements that existed in Britain at the turn of the century. Chief amongst them the were the Trades Union Congress, the Fabian Society, and the Independent Labour Party. The group took the name Labour Representation Committee, later adopting the name Labour Party after achieving seats in the House of Commons at the 1906 election.
