CLPD Youth
CLPD Youth was re-launched in 2018 with the intention of engaging young Labour members in issues of party democracy and reforming the youth structures of the party.

Who are we?
- We are CLPD Youth, the youth wing of the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy! We are a group of Young Labour activists who want to see a more democratic Young Labour and Labour Party. We want to inspire Young Labour members to campaign for these goals.
- We want Labour not just to form a government but to irreversibly transform the balance of power and wealth in our society. We believe that in order to do this, a major step will be to transform the internal structures of our party to make them more democratic.
What we campaign for
- A transformed and democratic Young Labour and Labour Party, led by and accountable to its members and rank-and-file trade unionists.
- Mandatory re-selection of all Labour representatives.
- An annual, sovereign Youth Conference with standing orders and motions.
- The implementation by a Labour government of the 2017 Labour manifesto, 'For the Many, Not the Few'.
Our Future Plans
- Organise Young Delegates for National Party Conferences
- Organise delegates for Young Labour conferences
- Develop proposals for the way the structures of Young Labour might be transformed
- Help to inform fellow Young Labour members about the often tricky internal structures and processes within the Labour Party
- Develop a space for the debate of socialist ideas and how we would like to transform our party and our society
