Fabian Society

The Fabian Society is a UK think tank affiliated with the Labour Party. It was originally founded in 1884 as a socialist society committed to gradual rather than revolutionary social reform.


 * "The Fabian Society has played a central role for more than a century in the development of political ideas and public policy on the left of centre. Analysing the key challenges facing the UK and the rest of the industrialised world in a changing society and global economy, the Society's programme aims to explore the political ideas and the policy reforms which will define progressive politics in the new century.


 * The Society is unique among think tanks in being a democratically-constituted membership organisation. It is affiliated to the Labour Party but is editorially and organisationally independent. Through its publications, seminars and conferences, the Society provides an arena for open-minded public debate." Fabian Society Website
