Organisation
The Scottish Labour Party is formally part of the Labour Party and is registered as an Accounting Unit (AU) with the Electoral Commission. It is not a separately registered party under the terms of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. As such the SLP does not have an official "Leader of the Scottish Labour Party", although the constitutional position of Leader of the Labour Group in the Scottish Parliament (analogous to the Westminster Parliamentary Labour Party) is considered the de facto Scottish Labour leader.

Famous quotes containing the word organisation:
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
