The Party of the Besmenian Left (Besmenian: Partei der Besmenischen Linken) is a democratic-socialism and left-wing party in Besmenia.

The PBL was formed in January 1998 initially primarily from critical SDU members and opponents of the more conservative-leaning SDU chairman Rudolf Dietrich who had formed the association Wahlalternative der Besmenischen Linken e. V. and constituted itself as a political party on August 15, 1998. While the PBL was described as a protest party with the aim of making an alternative to the SDU in its early years, a regular electorate increasingly formed from the 2000s onwards.

The PBL has had uninterrupted representation in the Federal Chamber since 2001 and has been involved as a junior partner in the Trissian state government alongside the SDU and GPB since 2013.

Ideology and policies

History

Founding

The party emerged from the association Wahlalternative der Besmenische Linke (WABL), which was founded on January 11, 1998. The WABL emerged from the coming together of groups that had their origins in left-wing social democracy. At the end of June 1998 a decision was made in Berkafurt about founding a party. Several members of the provisional federal executive board had declared that they were striving to found such a party and that they wanted to stand in the next Federal Chamber election. As a new left-wing party, the party wanted to offer dissatisfied voters and non-voters an election alternative. In July 1998 a ballot was held on the planned founding of the party, with most members approving. Finally, on August 15, 1998, the party was officially founded in Freiz under the name Party of the Besmenian Left. At the same time, former SDU politician Hannes Hochstein was elected the first party leader of the PBL.
