The '''Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale''' ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''Sezione imaguana del lavoratore internazionale'', [[Imaguan Creole]]: ''Imakua kuwa a walabeti'') is a political party in [[Imagua and the Assimas]] that advocates the implementation of {{wp|far-left politics}}. Established in 1899, it was the primary left-wing party of the [[Colony of Imagua]] from 1900 until 1909 when the [[Democratic Labour Party of Imagua|Labour Party]] won a seat in the legislature, and quickly became the main {{wp|left-wing}} political party in the country.
The '''Prime Minister of Surrow''' was the {{wp|head of government}} of [[Surrow]] from when it was granted full {{wp|self-government}} by [[Rythene]] in 1915 until Surrow was granted independence in 1950. By custom, the Prime Minister of Surrow was the leader of the largest party in the [[Parliament of Surrow|Surrowese Parliament]], or otherwise had the most support among the members of Parliament.

==History==
===Establishment and early years===
[[File:Wagenknecht-a-1905.jpg|150px|thumb|left|[[Ethel Cropper]], 1905]]
The Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale was established in 1899 by trade union organiser [[Ethel Cropper]], as he believed that the colonial government as existed on the island of [[Imagua]] at that time only benefited the "[[Estmere|Estmerish]] bourgeoise," and felt that the only way that all Imaguans could achieve equal rights would be for Estmere to become a {{wp|socialist state}}. Thus, on 1 May, 1899, Cropper convened the first {{wp|party congress}}, with Cropper being unanimously elected as the First Secretary of the party.
 
The party's main agenda was to nominate candidates for the [[Legislative Council of Imagua|Legislative Council]]: thus, they spent much of the year organising local chapters of the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale, with Ethel Cooper to stand election for the Dockside constituency for the 1900 general elections. Despite only managing to secure ten candidates, Ethel Cropper won the Dockside constituency, allowing the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale to enter the Legislative Council.
 
During the next four years, the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale gained support from many {{wp|trade unions}}, especially the [[Dockworkers' Union]] which only helped boost their position in Imaguan politics.
 
In the 1904 general elections, the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale nominated sixty-seven candidates, with First Secretary [[Ethel Cropper]] standing for re-election. During the 1904 general election campaign, they viciously attacked both the [[National Party of Imagua|Conservatives]], and the [[Democratic Party of Imagua|Democrats]] for being too capitalistic, while attacking the [[Democratic Labour Party of Imagua|Labour Party]] for not being sufficiently socialist enough.
 
Despite a vicious campaign, Cropper secured re-election, and was joined by [[Harlan Alardice]], who was elected as representative from the constituency of Lundholm. That year, at the Second Party Congress, Ethel Cropper was re-elected First Secretary, and the party platform was further refined.
 
During the next four years, the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale gained substantial popularity, particularly among members of trade unions and feminist organisations, while their staunch support of {{wp|labour rights}} and {{wp|women's suffrage}} made them relatively unpopular in much of the rest of the [[Colony of Imagua]].
 
Regardless, in the 1908 general elections, both Cropper and Alardice were re-elected, and were joined by [[Rudolph Ekbom]]. While all three legislators represented [[Cuanstad]], they had established a presence in all seventy constituencies of the Legislative Council. However, after the death of [[Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas|Premier]] [[Harmon Lambourne]] in December 1908, the 1909 general by-election saw the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale lose two of their seats, with only Rudolph Ekbom remaining a member of the Legislative Council.
 
At the Third Party Congress in 1909, Ekbom demanded that Ethel Cropper resign for his "sheer incompetence" in losing two of the party's three seats in the 1909 general election. Cropper refused, and after heated debates between supporters of Ethel Cropper and Rudolph Ekbom, Ethel Cropper remained the First Secretary.
 
Thus, during this period, although Cropper was still the party leader, Ekbom's position as the only member of the Legislative Council from the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale meant that Ekbom was by far the most important member of the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale. Despite Ekbom's "official loyalty," in 1911, he was accused by Cropper of attempting to stage an internal party coup to remove Cropper as party leader. While Ekbom was ultimately allowed to stay in the party, the severe infighting within the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale meant that in the 1913 general elections, Ekbom lost his seat to Democratic challenger [[James Olofson]].
 
===First stint in the political wilderness===
[[File:Ludwig_E._Katterfeld_(1909).jpg|150px|thumb|right|[[Waverly Palmcrantz]], 1920]]
At the Fourth Party Congress in 1914, [[Rudolph Ekbom]] and his supporters were purged from the party, as Ekbom's loss of a seat in the Legislative Council effectively neutralised his strength within the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale. First Secretary [[Ethel Cropper]] was again confirmed to be the First Secretary of the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale.
 
The main priority of the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale was to regain a seat in the [[Legislative Council of Imagua]], as the infighting between Cropper and Ekbom was perceived to have severely weakened the party. Thus, during this period, the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale sought to present an image of unity, while maintaining their strong positions in favour of {{wp|labour rights}}, {{wp|womens' rights}}, and the independence of [[Imagua]] from [[Estmere]] as a {{wp|socialist state}}. It also sought to try and attract voters from the [[Democratic Labour Party of Imagua|Labour Party]], as the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale doubted that the Labour Party would "genuinely commit" to the implementation of socialist policies.
 
However, in the 1917 general elections, despite the best efforts of the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale, they did not gain any seats in the Legislative Council, and to make matters worse, their ideological rivals managed to form a {{wp|coalition government}} with the [[Democratic Party of Imagua]].
 
Despite this setback, the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale continued to build their strength: by 1918, it had around 4,500 members across the [[Colony of Imagua]]. At the Fifth Party Congress in 1919, while [[Ethel Cropper]] was re-elected as First Secretary, he expressed his intention that if he cannot win a seat in the next general election, he will "tender his resignation" and have the party select a new leader.
 
This came a year later, when after the death of [[Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas|Premier]] [[Peter Hansson]], a snap general election was called by new Premier [[Nelson Egnell]]. In that election, while the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale came close to gaining a seat, with Cropper nearly unseating [[National Party of Imagua|Conservative]] incumbent [[Burt Moynihan]], they were unable to achieve it. Thus, shortly after the results were released, Ethel Cropper called an extraordinary Party Congress to select his successor.
 
At the 1920 Extraordinary Party Congress, two main frontrunners emerged to succeed Ethel Cropper: [[Douglas Coulston]] and [[Waverly Palmcrantz]]. Both promised to try and build up the party's strength for the 1924 general elections, and to ensure that the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale would help achieve a socialist revolution on the island of Imagua. However, after heated discussions and debates by factions within the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale, Palmcrantz was elected First Secretary of the Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale.

==Political positions==
The Imaguan Section of the Workers' Internationale advocates for {{wp|far-left politics}}. To this end, it seeks to expel all foreign military bases, recognise [[Maracao|Maracanese]] sovereignty over [[Dunhelm Island]], nationalise all major industries, and adopt {{wp|worker's self management}}.
 
With regards to [[Native Imaguan people|Native Imaguans]], it seeks to recognise the {{wp|Garifuna language|Imaguan language}} as an official language, and to restore the "traditional rights" that were removed with the passage of the ''[[Native Integration Act of 1949]]'', while upholding indigenous citizenship.
