She would be re-elected in the 1992 , 1997 , 2001 , 2005 , 2010 , 2015 , 2017 and 2019 general elections , however she received a great deal of sexist and racist harassment , including death threats .

The Labour Party is a centre-left political party in the United Kingdom that has been described as an alliance of social democrats , democratic socialists and trade unionists . In all general elections since 1922 , Labour has either been the governing party or the Official Opposition . The Labour Party was founded in 1900 , having grown out of the trade union movement and socialist parties of the 19th century . It overtook the Liberal Party to become the main opposition to the Conservative Party in the early 1920s , forming two minority governments under Ramsay MacDonald in the 1920s and early 1930s . Labour served in the wartime coalition of 1940-1945 , after which Clement Attlee 's Labour government established the National Health Service and expanded the welfare state from 1945 to 1951 . Under Harold Wilson and James Callaghan , Labour again governed from 1964 to 1970 and 1974 to 1979 . In the 1990s , Tony Blair took Labour to the centre as part of his New Labour project , which governed the UK under Blair and then Gordon Brown from 1997 to 2010 . Labour is currently the Official Opposition in the Parliament of the United Kingdom , having won the second-largest number of seats in the 2017 and 2019 general elections . The Labour Party is currently the largest party in the Welsh Assembly , forming the main party in the current Welsh government . The party is the third-largest in the Scottish Parliament . Labour is a member of the Party of European Socialists and Progressive Alliance , and holds observer status in Socialist International . The party includes semi-autonomous Scottish and Welsh branches , and supports the Social Democratic and Labour Party in Northern Ireland , although it still organises there .
A member of parliament ( MP ) is the representative of the voters to a parliament . In many countries with bicameral parliaments , this category includes specifically members of the lower house , as upper houses often have a different title . Member of Congress is an equivalent term in other jurisdictions . Members of parliament tend to form parliamentary groups ( also called parliamentary parties ) with members of the same political party .

The Bahamas ( /bəˈhɑːməz/ ( listen ) ) , known officially as the Commonwealth of The Bahamas , is a country within the Lucayan Archipelago in the West Indies . It is a member of the Commonwealth Realms under the monarchy of Queen Elizabeth II . The archipelagic state consists of more than 700 islands , cays , and islets in the Atlantic Ocean , and is located north of Cuba and Hispaniola Island ( Haiti and the Dominican Republic ) , northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands , southeast of the U.S. state of Florida , and east of the Florida Keys . The capital is Nassau on the island of New Providence . The Royal Bahamas Defence Force describes the Bahamas ' territory as encompassing 470,000 km2 ( 180,000 sq mi ) of ocean space . The Bahamas were inhabited by the Lucayans , a branch of the Arawakan-speaking Taíno people , for many centuries . Columbus was the first European to see the islands , making his first landfall in the 'New World ' in 1492 . Later , the Spanish shipped the native Lucayans to slavery on Hispaniola , after which the Bahama islands were mostly deserted from 1513 until 1648 , when English colonists from Bermuda settled on the island of Eleuthera . The Bahamas became a British crown colony in 1718 , when the British clamped down on piracy . After the American Revolutionary War , the Crown resettled thousands of American Loyalists to the Bahamas ; they took their slaves with them and established plantations on land grants . African slaves and their descendants constituted the majority of the population from this period on . The slave trade was abolished by the British in 1807 ; slavery in the Bahamas was abolished in 1834 .

The Portuguese Empire claimed the island between 1532 and 1536 , but later abandoned it in 1620 ; with their only remnants being an introduction of wild boars for a good supply of meat whenever the island was visited , and to replenish their water supply . An English ship , the Olive Blossom , arrived in Barbados on 14 May 1625 ; its men took possession of it in the name of King James I . In 1627 , the first permanent settlers arrived from England , and it became an English and later British colony . As a wealthy sugar colony , it became an English centre of the African slave trade until that trade was outlawed in 1807 , with final emancipation of slaves in Barbados occurring over a period of years from 1833 .
