The Labour Party, abbreviated as LP, is a socialist political organization in Tarper. The organization, is chaired by Reyna Mia Waxweiler, it was one of the two major contemporary political parties in Tarper, along with the Socialist Unity Party (SU).
Labour had governed at the federal level in Tarper as part of a grand coalition with the SU since December 2013 following the results of the 2013 federal election. Labour participated in 8 state governments, three of were governed by Labour First Ministers.
In 2016 the party merged with the Social Democratic Party of Tarper and the Socialist Unity Party to form the Socialist Party of Tarper. The Labour Party then became a pressure group within the Socialist Party. It insists on having close ties with the labour unions of Tarper.
History
The party was founded in early 2004 when moderate communists and radical socialists from the CPT and SU, respectively, broke off from their mother parties and created a "Union of True and Angered Socialists", later renamed to the "Labour Party". The name Labour coming from its belief that it was the rightful party to represent the proletariat. The split from the CPT and SU was due to some thinking that having one all-powerful party would lead to a tyranny. The leaders of both factions met the day before and coordinated their move.
Since the party's founding, it has championed one President and a Chancellor. From 2005-2013 the party was the rival of the larger Socialist Unity Party, but both parties had actually been quite friendly to one another and soon created the Socialist Front after the 2013 Tarperti federal election. The party had kept its mission of being a stronger and harder socialist party as shown in their voting records. The party was the second largest in the nation.
Since 2016, the party has been a pressure group inside the Socialist Party along with the Socialist Unity and Social Democrats.
Former sub-organizations
The Labour Party was host to many factions and organizations.
- Next-Generation Communists (NGC): Represented the moderate communist wing, opposed the merger and defected back into the Communist Party
- Democratic Socialists of Tarper (DST): consisted of radical socialists of former SU membership, rejoined Socialist Unity after merger
- Marxists & Labourites (M&L): became the mainstream of the Labour Party and reunited with its counterpart from Socialist Unity
- Unitarians: authoritarian communists that were expelled from the party, group was expelled during the merger and ceased to exist due to member deaths.
- Aspiring Labour (AL): presided over youth and student organizations
- LP Publications of Tarper: the group in charge of the newspaper, The Proletariat, merged into The Tarperti Journal
- Charron Organization: former think tank of the party.
