With the goal of the plan being the creation of a united socialist party in Tarper.

In early 2016 the student, youth, and women's organizations along with the Tarperti Confederation of Labour, the largest union confederation in Tarper, changed allegiance to the Socialist Front with the organizations merging into larger version of their respective operation. In late 2016 the Socialist Front had renamed itself as the Socialist Party of Tarper and the three member parties completed the merging process. The three parties still exist, but now have transitioned into political organizations within the Socialist Party and run their members under the banner of the Socialist Party.

Since the 2017 election, the SP is currently the senior partner of the government coalition with the Greens and Communists. As of early 2018, popular opinion of the government is largely positive with a majority of the electorate calling it, "the best since the start of the country".
