I would like to find a paid job working for the Labour Party in the
(probable) upcoming 2005 British election. I have read the reports
that it will likely take place in May, but perhaps even as early as
February. I am a recent Ivy League Graduate and just finished working
for the Kerry-Edwards effort in the U.S. I am also a dual US-UK
citizen if that helps solve any questions regarding work visas.

I have been to the Labour Party's website and found this link:
http://www.labour.org.uk/currentvacancies

but I am curious if there are any other avenues.

Hmmmmm

Well don't admit having worked for Kerry for starters: he lost AND
Tony Blair and the other guy are buddies.

Hadn't you heard?

Try looking at www.w4mp.org   It has loads of UK political jobs...

Hi, 
I currently work for Labour in the regions, and have worked in the
Scottish Parliament and for MPs. There have recently been a couple of
election jobs advertised that you may have had a chance with, but
their deadlines have passed. W4mp.org is certainly a good idea, but if
you can get someone who is a member of the Labour Staff Network to
send you the weekly jobs bulletin, you will get more insider jobs
news, which sometimes do not make it onto w4mp. I will be willing to
forward it to you if you email chunderfish_40 [at] hotmail
But a word of advice: No matter how impressive your education and
experience in the US (and working for KE04 WILL help) it is frankly
unlikley you will get anything paid without experience of British
politics. Your best bet may be to get a job as researcher to a Labour
MP (hard enough in itself)working in westminster, and try to get
seconded unofficially to Old Queen Street (Labour HQ)during the
campaign. There are many people looking to get involved, and precious
few will get paid to do so.
