The Party of the European Left (PEL), or European Left (EL), is a political party in Europe comprised of several small socialist and communist parties mostly within the European Union. The party is reformist and seeks to reform Europe and the EU through participating in national and European parliament elections rather than through dismantling the imperialist union.[1]
