Partnership in Power - Policy Making Process
The initial aim of Partnership in Power, the Labour Party’s
process for debating and agreeing policy positions and programmes,
was to establish a policy-making process that is robust,
comprehensive and gave all members an opportunity to
participate.
Thousands of members from all over the country helped produce
the nine final policy documents that formed the basis of the 2001
General Election manifesto. From 2002 thousands of members and
trade unionists contributed to producing what we have come to know
as the Warwick agreements which formed part of the 2005 General
Election manifesto and will form the basis of the manifesto for the
next General Election.
Partnership in Power provides both Labour Party members and
non-members with a forum for making their ideas and suggestions
heard through discussions at local policy forums and through
submissions to Policy Commissions.
Unite sends delegates to the National Policy
Forum where they play a full part in advancing union policies and
campaigns.
