      Constituency Labour Party - basically the local Labour organisations representing a specific area that’s designated one MP and parliamentary seat (if they win).

      They’re ostensibly supposed to produce shortlists of candidates for MP nominees, operate the local level of democratic decision making in the party, but have been increasing repowered, overruled, or just straight up purged and astroturfed by Labour leadership.

      Structural part of the labour party. They’re the hands of the party. Like branch offices in PSL etc, they control and carry out operations at the local level. Outside of legislation they’re where everything the party actually materially does happens.
