Compass ThinkTank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Compass is a democratic left pressure group, roughly aligned with the United Kingdom Labour Party. It differs from a classic think-tank in that it is a membership organisation.
Compass was launched in 2003 with support from a number of academics and left-wing politicians. Since then it has published a number of pamphlets charting an alternative path for the Labour Government in the UK. It has gradually risen in influence and media prominence. When the Chair, Neal Lawson, called for Tony Blair to resign in May 2006, it was widely reported in newspapers.
