The Campaign for Labour Party Democracy (CLPD) is a group of Labour Party activists campaigning for changes to the constitution of the Labour Party to ensure that Labour MPs and Labour governments enacted policies agreeable to the party membership. It was founded by activists in 1973, with support from about ten Labour MPs, and its first President was Frank Allaun.[1][2] A leading co-founder was Vladimir Derer, and his house in Golders Green became CLPD's headquarters for about twenty-five years.[3][4]
