The Socialist Worker's Party (Midrasian:Partit Socialiste Obriers) was a democratic socialist political party in Midrasia active between 1846 and 1868. The party was formed by trade unionists Ricarde Esquerra and Pere Espases with the party being an avenue for advancing the cause for socialist reform. The party was able to amass considerable support, gaining 5 seats within the Public Assembly during the 1847 election. By 1863 the party held 35 seats, making it a significant parliamentary force. However, following a number of Marxist inspired terrorist incidents across the country the party was banned and identified as a terrorist organisation. The ban on openly Socialist political parties would not be lifted until 1881 leading to the formation of the Social Democratic Party.
