Gibraltar Labour Party - Definition and Overview

The Gibraltar Labour Party is a political party in Gibraltar. They describe themselves as a progressive socialist organisation and state that their formation was prompted by the need for a strong opposition to the government. They are currently led by Daniel Feetham.

They oppose dialogue with Spain about the constitutional future of Gibraltar, and support the right of Gibraltarians to decide their own constitutional arrangments under the principle of self-determination.

They have proposed policies for the improvement of the quality and availability of housing in Gibraltar. They propose that no individual should serve as Chief Minister for more than two terms, and have called for a more transparent form of funding of political parties.

In the 2003 election to the 15-member House of Assembly they polled 8.3 per cent of the vote and won no seats.
