Lewisham People Before Profit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lewisham People Before Profit (LPBP) was a minor, left-wing political party based in the London Borough of Lewisham in the United Kingdom and established around 2008–2009. The party has stood for election outside Lewisham as People Before Profit.
The party campaigned against government cut-backs to local services, and for improved pay and conditions for working people.[1] The party mainly contested elections to the borough council and mayoralty in Lewisham.
The party's constitution stipulated that it had no leader and the title was used purely for the purposes of the Electoral Commission regulations. The leader when the party was deregistered in November 2022 was Patricia Richardson.[2]
History
LPBP candidates included Ray Woolford, who was previously a candidate for the Social Democratic Party, Liberal Democrats, and the Conservatives, as well as an independent candidate.[3]
