WELCOME
Welcome to the Ruislip Northwood and Pinner Constituency Labour Party website. In this website you can find information about the constituency, how the Labour Party is organised in this area and information about elected representatives and candidates for future elections.
As a democratic, socialist party Labour welcomes people from all walks of life. Britain under a Labour Government was a better, fairer and more just society. Labour's track record of achievement in Government since 1997 was one that Labour Party members can all be proud of.
Do you feel the same way we do about the kind of Britain you want to live in?
A Britain where there is a first-class health service free at the point of use; where education is always a priority; and where you and your family are treated equally and can feel safe and secure.
Join us and be part of our journey. Maybe you already vote Labour at election time? Maybe you have thought about joining but not actually done it? Maybe you think you are too young, too old or too busy? Maybe it's because nobody has asked you. We're asking you now.
Join us and help shape our country's future.

The elections for London Mayor and the Greater London Assembly in 2012 will ensure that we have the right people in place to take advantage of this global focus and address the big challenges the capital city faces. Not only will we elect Ken Livingstone as Mayor of our great city we will also have the strong voices of Onkar Sahota (Labour's candidate for Hillingdon and Ealing) and Navin Shah (Brent and Harrow).

After more than 12 years in Government 2010 was always going to be a tough challenge for Labour, made even tougher by the very difficult econominc climate caused by the global banking crisis. Even without these conditions the task of taking on the Conservatives in one of their top 10 "safe" consituencies was always going to be a very difficult. With support from our active members our candidate Anita MacDonald managed to hold second place in constituency and hold the swing to the Tories to a level that was nearly 1/3rd below the national swing. Anita ran a very positive campaign and is to be congratulated on the result she achieved in both the General Election and the local council elections where she was returned to continue the great work she performs as a Hillingdon Councillor.
