Arising in the aftermath of the <a href="/wiki/2003_invasion_of_Iraq" title="2003 invasion of Iraq">2003 invasion of Iraq</a>, it grew out of the <a href="/wiki/Stop_the_War_Coalition" title="Stop the War Coalition">Stop the War Coalition</a> and from the start revolved largely around <a href="/wiki/Opposition_to_the_Iraq_War" title="Opposition to the Iraq War">opposition</a> to the United Kingdom's role in the <a href="/wiki/Iraq_War" title="Iraq War">Iraq War</a>. Uniting a range of leftist and anti-war groups, it was unofficially allied to the <a href="/wiki/Muslim_Association_of_Britain" title="Muslim Association of Britain">Muslim Association of Britain</a> (MAB) and the <a href="/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK)" title="Socialist Workers Party (UK)">Socialist Workers Party</a> (SWP), a far-left, <a href="/wiki/Marxism" title="Marxism">Marxist</a> group.

In 2007, a schism emerged in the party between SWP supporters and the <a href="/wiki/Respect_Renewal" title="Respect Renewal">Respect Renewal</a> group led by Galloway and Yaqoob; the former group left the party to form the <a href="/wiki/Left_List" title="Left List">Left List</a>. Over the coming years, Respect gradually lost its council seats and it deregistered with the <a href="/wiki/Electoral_Commission_(United_Kingdom)" title="Electoral Commission (United Kingdom)">Electoral Commission</a> in 2016. Avowedly socialist and opposed to <a href="/wiki/Capitalism" title="Capitalism">capitalism</a>, Respect called for the nationalisation of much of the UK economy, increased funding to public services, and further measures to tackle poverty and discrimination. It was <a href="/wiki/Euroscepticism" title="Euroscepticism">Eurosceptic</a> and promoted an <a href="/wiki/Anti-imperialism" title="Anti-imperialism">anti-imperialist</a> worldview. It was also <a href="/wiki/Anti-Zionism" title="Anti-Zionism">anti-Zionist</a>, opposing the existence of Israel and endorsing the <a href="/wiki/Palestine_Solidarity_Campaign" title="Palestine Solidarity Campaign">Palestine Solidarity Campaign</a>. Due to its links with MAB, several commentators claimed that <a href="/wiki/Islamism" title="Islamism">Islamism</a> was a component of its ideology and regarded it as part of a wider alliance between socialists and Islamists within <a href="/wiki/Western_Europe" title="Western Europe">Western Europe</a>.
