Socialist society (Labour Party)

A socialist society is a membership organisation that is affiliated with the Labour Party in the UK.

In return the societies receive a formal role in Labour decision-making, and the affiliated supporters can take part in all-member ballots in certain circumstances.

The Socialist Societies also elect three representatives to the National Policy Forum; currently, these are Sina Lari, Andrew Harrop and Paul Clarkson.

This is a regular meeting of the chairs and key officers of all the societies to share ideas and co-ordinate work.

As a collective, the societies try to co-ordinate campaigning work and hold a joint event at Labour Party conference.
