The Labour Party, officially the Social Democratic Labour Party of America, is a political party in the United States of America. The party would be co-founded by Henry George and Eugene V. Debs on June 4th, 1901. Currently, its headquarters are in Washington DC, however conventions are often times hosted in various cities such as Chicago and Detroit. The party is a center-left to left-wing party that believes in Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Progressivism, and Georgism, whilst factions within the party believe in Agrarian Socialism and the use of Cooperatives. The Party currently has 133 members in the House of Representatives, including 9 members of its associate party, Bloc Acadie, and 31st members in the Senate, including 2 members of Bloc Acadie. Formerly a Big Tent Socialist and Georgist party, the party would be reorganized under a more moderate Socialist Progressive light under the leadership of various leaders such as George Norris, Upton Sinclair, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Henry Wallace to become more appeasing. The party itself has most appeal amongst working class workers in the rust belt whilst simultaneously often times competing with the People's Party and the Reform Party over rural farmers. .
