Gibraltar Labour Party

Gibraltar Labour Party

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

They opposed dialogue with Spain and wanted to change the Constitution of Gibraltar, and support the right of Gibraltarians to decide their own constitutional arrangements under the principle of self-determination.

They had proposed policies for the improvement of the quality and availability of housing in Gibraltar. They proposed that no individual should serve as Chief Minister for more than two terms, and 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. They have since merged with the Gibraltar Social Democrats.
