Clause IV 2024

I have decided to reproduce Labour’s Clause IV, its Aims and Values. I think some need to be reminded.

Clause IV.

Aims and values

1. The Labour Party is a democratic socialist Party. It believes that by the strength of our common
   endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each of us the means to
   realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and
   opportunity are in the hands of the many not the few; where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties
   we owe and where we live together freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect.
2. To these ends we work for:
   A. A DYNAMIC ECONOMY, serving the public interest, in which the enterprise of the market
   and the rigour of competition are joined with the forces of partnership and co-operation to
   produce the wealth the nation needs and the opportunity for all to work and prosper with a
   thriving private sector and high-quality public services where those undertakings essential to
   the common good are either owned by the public or accountable to them
   B. A JUST SOCIETY, which judges its strength by the condition of the weak as much as the
   strong, provides security against fear, and justice at work; which nurtures families, promotes equality of opportunity, and delivers people from the tyranny of poverty, prejuidice and the abuse of power. C. AN OPEN DEMOCRACY, in which government is held to account by the people, decisions are
   taken as far as practicable by the communities they affect and where fundamental human
   rights are guaranteed. D. A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT, which we protect, enhance and hold in trust for future generations.
3. Labour is committed to the defence and security of the British people and to co-operating in
   European institutions, the United Nations, the Commonwealth and other international bodies to
   secure peace, freedom, democracy, economic security and environmental protection for all.
4. Labour shall work in pursuit of these aims with trade unions and co-operative societies and also
   with voluntary organisations, consumer groups and other representative bodies.
5. On the basis of these principles, Labour seeks the trust of the people to govern.
