Labour Electoral Association
The Labour Electoral Association was a political organisation in the United Kingdom which aimed to get working men elected to Parliament.
==Foundation==
The issue of political representation for workers had become increasingly important for the Trades Union Congress (TUC). At the 1885 congress, there was unanimous support for James Stafford Murchie's motion, introduced on behalf of the International Working Men's Association, that candidates who were members of trade unions should be welcomed, as should the establishment of Labour Associations in London and Birmingham, which aimed to support their election.〔G. D. H. Cole, ''British Working Class Politics, 1832-1914'', pp.101-120〕
At the 1886 TUC congress, George Shipton called for the establishment of funds to support trade union candidates, and T. R. Threlfall,〔 who had himself stood unsuccessfully for Parliament at that year's general election.〔W. W. Bean, ''The parliamentary representation of the six northern counties of England'', p.1078〕 successfully proposed that a Labour Electoral Committee be established.〔 The initial committee consisted of John Wilson (President), William Abraham and James M. Jack (Vice-Presidents), Stuart Uttley (Chairman), Edward Harford (Treasurer), and Threlfall (Secretary).〔
