Q: Labour runs a minority government in the Welsh Assembly under Carwyn Jones, is the largest opposition party in the Scottish Parliament and has twenty MEPs in the European Parliament, sitting in the Socialists and Democrats Group. The party also organises in Northern Ireland, but does not contest elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly. The Labour Party is a full member of the Party of European Socialists and Progressive Alliance, and holds observer status in the Socialist International. In September 2015, Jeremy Corbyn was elected Leader of the Labour Party.

The Labour Party's origins lie in the late 19th century, when it became apparent that there was a need for a new political party to represent the interests and needs of the urban proletariat, a demographic which had increased in number and had recently been given franchise. Some members of the trades union movement became interested in moving into the political field, and after further extensions of the voting franchise in 1867 and 1885, the Liberal Party endorsed some trade-union sponsored candidates. The first LibLab candidate to stand was George Odger in the Southwark by-election of 1870. In addition, several small socialist groups had formed around this time, with the intention of linking the movement to political policies. Among these were the Independent Labour Party, the intellectual and largely middle-class Fabian Society, the Marxist Social Democratic Federation and the Scottish Labour Party.

1. which party holds observer status in the Socialist International?

Baden-Wurttemberg is a state in Germany located in the southwest, east of the Upper Rhine. It is Germany's third largest state in terms of size and population, with an area of and 10.8million inhabitants. The state capital and largest city is Stuttgart.

The sobriquet "Landle" ("small land" or "dear land" in the local dialect) is sometimes used as a synonym for Baden-Wurttemberg.

Baden-Wurttemberg is formed from the historical territories of Baden, Prussian Hohenzollern, and Wurttemberg, parts of Swabia.

In 100 AD, the Roman Empire invaded and occupied Wurttemberg, constructing a limes (fortified boundary zone) along its northern borders. Over the course of the third century AD, the Alemanni forced the Romans to retreat beyond the Rhine and Danube rivers. In 496 AD the Alemanni themselves succumbed to a Frankish invasion led by Clovis I.

The Holy Roman Empire was later established. The majority of people in this region continued to be Roman Catholics, even after the Protestant Reformation influenced populations in northern Germany. In the late 19th and early 20th century, numerous people emigrated from here to the United States for economic opportunity.

After World War II, Allied forces established three federal states in the territory of modern-day Baden-Wurttemberg: Wurttemberg-Hohenzollern, Baden, and Wurttemberg-Baden. Baden and Wurttemberg-Baden were occupied by France and the United States, respectively. In 1949, each state became a founding member of the Federal Republic of Germany, with Article 118 of the German constitution providing an accession procedure. On 16 December 1951, Wurttemberg-Baden, Wurttemberg-Hohenzollern and Baden voted in favor of a joint merger via referendum. Baden-Wurttemberg officially became a state in Germany on 25 April 1952.

John Bill Bob lived on a boat in the sea. He went all around the world, to see what he could see.

In America, he went to a farm. There, he saw a barn. He had some milk from a cup. The cup was big; Cow filled it up!

In Africa, he went to the wild. He saw a tiger and heard it growl. From the growl, he ran away. He wanted to live another day!
