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 [1]
