The Democratic Labour Party of Imagua and the Assimas (Etrurian: Partito Democratico del Lavoro di Imagua e Assime), or the Democratic Labour Party of Imagua (Etrurian: Partito Democratico del Lavoro di Imagua) is one of the two major political parties of Imagua and the Assimas, the other being the Sotirian Democratic Labour Party.

Founded in 1948 following the merger of the Labour Party and the Democratic Party, the party quickly became a major party in Imaguan politics, governing from 1952 to 1956, and then from 1960 onwards. While initially being part of a two-party system with the Sotirian Democrats, after an internal divide led to the formation of the National Labour Party in 1978, the NLP quickly displaced the SDP as being the primary opposition party.

After the SDP and NLP merged in 1997 to form the Sotirian Democratic Labour Party, the DLP lost power in 2000, and only would return to power in the 2016 general elections. Since then, it has held the Presidency, as well as control of the Lesser House of Parliament.

History

Establishment

Positions

Economically, the Democratic Labour Party supports increased regulations on industries, in order to "ensure the safety and well-being of the Imaguan people," while ensuring that capitalism can continue to operate freely.

Socially, the Democratic Labour Party are more liberal than the Nationals, supporting increased LGBT rights and supporting on-demand abortions. They are also more supportive of the environmentalist movement. However, the Democratic Labour Party is opposed to increasing immigration, as they believe that immigration would only benefit the rich and harm local Imaguans.
