Labour is the largest and most successful political party in modern Welsh politics, having won (with its predecessor organisations) the largest share of the vote at every UK General Election since 1922, every Welsh Assembly election since 1999, and each European Parliament election from 1979 until 2009, and from 2014 onwards〔Jones, B, ''Welsh Elections 1885 - 1997'' (1999), Lolfa. See also (UK 2001 General Election results by region ), (UK 2005 General Election results by region ), (1999 Welsh Assembly election results ), (2003 Welsh Assembly election results ) and (2004 European Parliament election results in Wales (BBC) )〕 The Labour Party in Wales has 1 of 4 Welsh seats in the European Parliament, 25 of 40 Welsh seats in the UK Parliament, 30 of 60 seats in the National Assembly for Wales, and 576 of 1,264 principal local authority councillors, including overall control of 10 of 22 Welsh local authorities. ==Structure== Welsh Labour is formally part of the Labour Party. It is neither separately registered with the Electoral Commission under the terms of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act,〔http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/regulatory-issues/regpoliticalparties.cfm?frmGB=1&frmPartyID=6&frmType=partydetail〕 nor is it part of a federal organisation (such as the relationship between the Welsh Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Democrats, for example). As such it does not have an office of Leader. Carwyn Jones is regarded as the ''de facto'' Leader, although his constitutional position is that of Leader of the National Assembly Labour Party (NALP), analogous to the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). As with Scottish Labour, Welsh Labour has its own General Secretary which is the administrative head of the party and is responsible for how the party is run. Welsh Labour has autonomy in policy formulation for those areas now devolved to the Welsh Assembly, as well as candidate selection for that body. Party objectives are set by the Welsh Executive Committee (WEC), which performs a similar function to the Labour Party's National Executive Committee (NEC) in respect of devolved responsibilities. The Welsh Executive Committee is made up of representatives from each section of the party - government, MPs, AMs, MEPs, councillors, trade unions and Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs - the basic unit of organisation throughout the Labour Party). Each of Wales's 40 CLPs are registered as accounting units with the Electoral Commission.〔http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/regulatory-issues/regpoliticalparties.cfm?frmPartyID=6&frmType=audetail〕 The party's headquarters in Cardiff organise the party's election campaigns at all levels of government (Community Councils, Unitary Authorities, Welsh Assembly, Westminster and European Parliament), support the CLPs and branches in membership matters and perform secretarial functions to the National Assembly Labour Party (NALP) and the party's policy-making process. They also organise the annual conference (the sovereign decision-making body of the party), provide legal and constitutional advice, and arbitrate certain disciplinary matters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welsh Labour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
