the Labour Party

noun

/ðə ˈleɪbə pɑːti/

/ðə ˈleɪbər pɑːrti/

(also Labour)

[singular + singular or plural verb]

one of the main British political parties, on the political left, that has traditionally represented the interests of working people工党（英国主要政党之一，传统上代表劳动人民的利益）
- the Labour Party leader工党领袖
CultureThe Labour Party has always been supported by the trade unions. It developed from the Independent Labour Party and formed its first government in 1924 under Ramsay MacDonald. Other Labour prime ministers since then have been Clement Attlee (1945-51), Harold Wilson (1964-70), James Callaghan (1974-9), Tony Blair (1997-2007) and Gordon Brown (2007-10). In the 1980s and 1990s the party moved away from traditional left wing policies regarding public ownership of industry and giving up nuclear weapons. Because of these changes the party was also known as New Labour. It was in government between 1997 and 2010, under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Opposition to New Labour policies and to the war in Iraq among traditional Labour Party supporters led to a decline in the number of party members. From 2015, when Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the party, the number of members increased again rapidly.
