The Labour Party was officially founded on 15 April 1993 during the second congress of the [[Saint-Baptiste Labour Federation]], as the labour movement intended to contest the [[1995 Saint-Baptiste parliamentary election|1995 parliamentary election]] separately from the quickly collapsing [[Movement for Democratic Reform]]. The party remained at the periphery of the Baptistois political scene for the remainder of the 1990s.

The Baptistois Labour Party (Principean: Parti ouvrier baptistois, POB; Baptistois Creole: Pati Travayè Batiswa) is a left-wing political party in Saint-Baptiste. Founded in 1993 as the political arm of the Saint-Baptiste Labour Federation, the POB has since the early 2010s been considered a notable third party in the country's two-party system. Ideologically, the organization is often considered a big tent of left-wing politics, ranging from Perendist socialism to communism, and includes a large faction of left-wing nationalists. The party currently holds one seat in the Chamber of Deputies, with Jeanne Duclos representing the constituency of Sainte-Anne-Ouest since 2010.

History

The Labour Party was officially founded on 15 November 1997 during the seventh congress of the Saint-Baptiste Labour Federation, as the labour movement intended to contest the 2000 parliamentary election separately from the Saint-Baptiste Reform Party, which had drifted in a more neoliberal direction under the leadership of Jules Toussaint. The party remained at the periphery of the Baptistois political scene for the remainder of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Under the leadership of Tobie Hérisson from 2000 to 2010, the POB saw initially a moderate increase in support, until the 2009 general strike. The events of the strike doubled the party's membership, and the POB would win its first seat in the working class constituency of Sainte-Anne-Ouest in 2010, becoming the first third party to enter the Chamber in sixteen years. Hérisson himself secured a breakthrough eighteen percent of the vote in the next year's presidential election. Since their boost in support in the 2010s, the POB have retained its parliamentary representation, securing itself as Saint-Baptiste's third-largest party by both membership and parliamentary seats.
