About Respect
The Respect Party was set up in January 2004. It was formed because of the need for a left-wing alternative to the three established parties - New Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrats.
None of those parties represent the interests of ordinary working-class people or those who want a fairer, more equal and just society.
When millions marched against the invasion of Iraq, the government ignored us.
When workers and communities take strike action or protest against privatisation, job losses and cuts to our services, they are criticised by the New Labour government and the other parties.
The Respect Party is opposed to war, privatisation and unemployment.
The Respect Party stands for peace, publicly owned services and a decent future for all.
We want a world in which the democratic demands of the people are carried out; a world based on need not profit; a world where solidarity rather than self-interest is the spirit of the age. We want to reach out to all those who share our views, to build a new party for change in the interests of ordinary people.
Election Successes
Respect has made progress since it was set up in January 2004.
In the 2005 general election Respect got impressive results despite the 'first past the post' electoral system, which makes things difficult for a new party. We were able to win results in a clutch of inner-city working class constituencies which no other left party had achieved for a very long time.
Expelled Labour MP George Galloway stood for Respect in the east London constituency of Bethnal Green and Bow and overturned a 10,000 majority held by the New Labour pro-war MP Oona King.
In two other east London constituencies, East and West Ham, Respect came second to Labour. In another east London constituency, Poplar and Canning Town, we came third.
In Sparkbrook and Small Heath in Birmingham Salma Yaqoob won 27.5 percent of the vote - only 3,000 votes short of winning the seat.
We now have six councillors on Tower Hamlets council, a councillor in the London Borough of Newham and three councillors on Birmingham City Council.

What we stand for
- Jobs and homes for all.
- Good quality services; an end to all privatisation and the bringing into democratic public ownership of the railways and other public services such as fuel, water and care for the elderly.
- A free, comprehensive education system that gives an equal chance in life to every child, no matter how wealthy or poor their parents, from nursery to university.
- A publicly owned, fully funded, democratically controlled NHS, free to all users.
- A decent life in retirement; pensions linked to average earnings.
- Raising the minimum wage to the European Union Decency threshold of £8 an hour.
- Taxing the rich and big business to fund welfare and public services.
- The repeal of the anti-union laws, which prevent workers from protecting their jobs and conditions effectively.
- Opposition to all forms of discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs (or lack of them), sexual orientation, disabilities, national origin or citizenship.
- The defence of the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. Opposition to the European Union's ‘Fortress Europe' policies.
- We will strongly oppose the anti- European xenophobic right wing in any Euro referendum. But we oppose the ‘stability pact' that the European Union seeks to impose on all those who join the euro. This pact would outlaw government deficit spending and reinforce the drive to privatise and deregulate the economy and we will therefore vote ‘No' in any referendum on this issue.
- An end to the wars and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. We will not support any imperialist wars.
- Support for the people of Palestine and opposition to the apartheid system that oppresses them.
- An end to the destruction of the environment by states and corporations for whom profit is more important than sustaining the natural world on which all life depends.
