Freedom of Association

I'm a member of the Co-operative Party. The Co-operative Party is the fourth largest political party in Parliament, and the political arm of the Co-operative Movement. We believe that people will achieve more by working together than they can by working alone.

We believe that the only way to create a just and fair society is through power being spread evenly throughout society, and not arbitrarily based on wealth, class, gender or race.

The Sycamore Tree in Tolpuddle represents the principle of the freedom of association and the right of people to organise in groups to achieve common objectives.
