Fringe Parties Explained: • Britain's Weird, Small...
So it turns out there's a secret stealth party in the UK's political system. They've got 26 MPs in the House of Commons and members across the devolved assemblies. Despite being bigger than the Liberal Democrats you've likely never heard of them (the Cooperative Party). So in this video we explain who the Cooperative Party are, what they stand for and why you don't know anything about them.

It's interesting that so few on the left of the Labour party are part of the co-op party when they advocate for co-operativism more than any other group in Labour. McDonnell and Corbyn wrote a policy which would allow workers of a company or factory which was going to be outsourced, sold-off, or shut-down to vote on turning the company/factory into a worker co-op with access to low-interest loans to get them started.

@Lewis Coyne same could be said of any party - if everyone voted for the Lib Dems they would have more influence. But they don't, primarily because the voting system makes voting for anyone except the two main parties pointless. And as those parties are (1) monoliths representing only a single very narrow slice of possible opinions and (2) are part of an adversarial system where they are fundamentally opposed, change either from within or without is essentially impossible. FPTP is designed for a small electorate l, not universal suffrage.

Co-operativism would basically be a disaster as it would make British equity markets effectively redundant. Much of new capital generation relies on financial investors from banks to ordinary consumers. These people wouldn’t be able to trade equity in a completely co-operative system as there would be none to trade and issue as only workers would hold the shares. So although this would mean workers would receive greater dividends off of the shares giving them higher pay, it would also mean that raising funds for the company (especially for any new, smaller business) would be virtually impossible. This would massively slow down innovation for only a very marginal benefit to workers.

@@dalfkssafetillity5570 as you can see, as with the co-op, cooperative businesses can be just as successful as their non cooperative counterparts. And give them better working conditions, better hours, better pay, and a democratic say in how the business is run. I think we should turn most businesses cooperative.

Not to dissimilar to the setup for the Federal Mps and Senators from the "Liberal National Party of Queensland" in Australia who get elected under one label but then nominate whether they will sit as members of the larger Liberal or National parties.

@liamhalliday8437 3 года назад

For me, the Co-Op end of the Labour party would be more appealing (I speak as a Classical Liberal, swing voter, who spoiled my last national election ballot). I like that it still focuses on the individual, but how individuals can come together and co-operate. That's admirable, and feels quite centrist, appealing to the benefits of the individual and community. Too many left leaning ideologies, from Communism, Progressivism and Socialism, sacrifice the individual too much at the expense of the collective, for example with "positive discrimination"/quotas that make it difficult for me to support. I've honestly never heard of this party, but I hope they continue to do well and get more attention. Thanks for sharing!

Co-ops are pure socialism. It's giving workers control over the means of production; empowering them. And it's a good idea. Just ignore the propaganda that's biased you against the left.

In America, we call this concept "employee owned," while a "co op" is owned by shareholders, who are the customers. I belong to a farm supply co op and get my electricity from a co op, but I've never worked for either. I did work for an employee owned company for a few years. It is a very different sort of company culture from the corporate jobs I've held in the same industry. People take it personally when they see other workers slacking off.
