Ginger group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ginger group is a group within, for example, a political party seeking to inspire the rest with its own enthusiasm and activity.
A ginger group is a formal or informal grouping of people within a larger organisation that actively works for more radical change to the policies, practices or office-holders of the organisation, while still supporting the goals of the organisation.
Like "to ginger up," the term comes from the use of ginger root to make a horse seem more lively, or to add flavour or spice to food and beverages.
Ginger groups sometimes form within the political parties of Commonwealth countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Pakistan.
See also Ginger Group (Canada), a radical group of left-wing Canadian MPs in the 1920s and early 1930s.
