The [[Socialist Party (Seketan)|Socialist Party]] ([[Seketese language|Seketese]]: ''Sošyça ynden'') is a {{wp|social democratic}} [[List of political parties in Seketan|political party]] in [[Seketan]]. The party was founded in 1968 as a protest organizing group against the [[Kjedorate regime]] but was made illegal in 1969. It was legalized in 1978 and formed government after Sektan's first [[1978 Seketese revolution|post-revolution democratic election]]. Today, the party espouses  {{wp|social democracy}} and sits centre-left on the [[Seketese Politics|Seketese political spectrum]]. The party's current leader is [[Sara Nymon]] since 2021.


For as long as Seketan has existed as an independent republic the socialist movement, promoting workers rights, equality and social programs, has been alive with many parties vying for the lions share of the voters. In early elections, the Labour Party proved to be the most successful, with a large tent over the whole left wing spectrum, especially under the authoritarian Kjedorate regime. However come the 1978 Seketese Revolution and the democratization of Seketese politics, many on the left broke away from the old Labour Party and re established the organization as political party to contest elections under a more moderate and pro-democracy platform.

During the 1960's Seketan experienced changes in its economic and social landscape. In the provinces of Wilskland and Fjeska ethnic conflict arose, with Fjeska seeing the worst and most violent fighting which sparked on by the 1960’s counterculture movement sparked protests. Later workers unions would conduct wildcat strikes as economic conditions worsened during a recession. Under these conditions several groups of left-wing protesters came together and formed the Socialist Democracy Movement in 1968 to better coordinate their civil disobedience.

The movement would help fund and organize protests for just under a year until they were banned by the [[Kjedorate Party]] in 1969 for “subversive and insurgent practices”. Despite this the group continued to meet in secret. The group was led by [[Patjik Moulette]], a local school teacher who led a strike in 1963. During this time the organizations worked with other left wing and pro-democratic movements such as the [[Workers Liberty Association]], the [[Democratic Party (Seketan|Democratic Seketan Movement]] and the [[Student Democratic Union]] to plan and execute small scale protests against the Kjedorate regime.

Upon the success of the revolution Moulette and several other leaders were invited to the Constitutional Convention to help form the [[Fourth Seketese Republic]]

After the adoption of the Forth Republic's Constitution Seketan's first democratic elections were held in [[1978 Seketese Election]]. The party won the most seats and formed government with the [[Democratic Party (Seketan)|Democrats]] and [[Liberal Party (Seketan)|Liberals]] with Moulette as Seketan's first democratically elected Prime Minister. During his time as Prime Minister, Moulette would nationalize Seketan's oil industry under [[SekOil]] and would reform healthcare into the modern [[Healthcare in Seketan|universal system]] it is today. He would continue to serve under various coalition and majority governments until 1990 when he retired from politics. After Moulette, the party would go through several interim leaders until 1991 when Jorgi Wethan took over leadership.

After Moulette, the party would go through several interim leaders until 1995 when Jorgi Wethan took over leadership.


Under Wethan's leadership the party would lose the [[1992 Seketese Election]] to the [[National Conservative Party (Seketan)|National Conservative's]] and their leader [[Jajmes Marksonn]], becoming the Chief Opposition for the first time in their history. The loss was attributed to the chaotic leadership shuffles after Moulette's departer and a struggling economy during the {{wpl|Early 1990's recession}}. Wethan would resign as party leader on election night, prompting a leadership election that would pick former Defense Minister [[Simeon Trejiak]] to lead the party in opposition.

Trejiak would lead the party into the [[1996 Seketese Election]] over the one term Marksonn government. Due to a change in electoral system implemented by the National Conservatives, Trejiak had won only a minority of seats and had to form a coalition with newly formed [[Liberal Democratic Party (Seketan)|Liberal Democrats]], creating a centrist government. Under Trejiaks first government several public utilities would be sold off, such as [[AviSek|Aviation Seketan]] and the [[Seketese Liquor Corporation]], as per the coalition agreement with the Liberal Democrats. After being reelected in [[2000 Seketese Election|2000]] with a stronger minority government, the party was able to form a confidence and supply agreement with the young [[Green Party (Seketan)|Green Party]]. The second Trejiak administration would see Seketan join the {{wpl|Kyoto Protocol}}, end border and ethnic disputes with [[Kingdom of Trjebia|Trjebia]] and the eventual legalization of same-sex marrige in Seketan in 2008.

The second Trejiak administration would see Seketan join the {{wpl|Kyoto Protocol}}, but would be cut short after Labour abruptly left the coalition in late 2004, causing a [[2005 Seketese General Election|snap election]] and Trejiak to lose to the CNy and their leader [[Tomas Sedora]].


Today the party is led by [[Eris Kellisyen]], who has been Prime Minister ever since the 2017 election, defeating the National Conservstive government in power. He has formed three governments, first with the Liberal Democrats in 2017, second with the Greens in 2018, and currently leads a majority government. Since coming to office he has pushed for currency reforms after high inflation during {{wpl|The Great Recession}}, privatized much of Seketan’s public post secondary education system and publicly apologized on behalf of Seketan for the massacres during the [[Fjeskan Crisis]].
Sedora would go on to serve as Prime Minister until 2014, defeating Trejiak a few months later again in [[2006 Seketese General Election|2006]], then [[Yeof Halison]] in [[2010 Seketese General Election|2010]]. In 2011 [[Eris Kellisyen]] ascended to the leadership, and would defeat Sedora in the [[2014 Seketese General Election|2014 election]] and became Prime Minister.
 
Kellisyen would serve as Prime Minister until facing a landslide loss in the [[2021 Seketese General Election|2021 election]] to the populist [[Our Revolution]] party and their leader [[Simy Brasa]]. The party's caucus was decimated, being reduced to its lowest seat count (63). On election night, Kellisyen resigned as party leader.
 
Today the party is led by [[Paul Marigon]], a former minister in Kellisyen's government. They are the Official Opposition party in the [[Commons Council (Seketan)|Commons Council]], the largest party in the [[State Council (Seketan)|State Council]], and form government in 2 provinces (Bynan and Gjenor).

The Socialist Party (Seketese: Sošyça ynden) is a social democratic political party in Seketan. The party was founded in 1968 as a protest organizing group against the Kjedorate regime but was made illegal in 1969. It was legalized in 1978 and formed government after Sektan's first post-revolution democratic election. Today, the party espouses social democracy and sits centre-left on the Seketese political spectrum. The party's current leader is Sara Nymon since 2021.

For as long as Seketan has existed as an independent republic the socialist movement, promoting workers' rights, equality and social programs, has been alive with many parties vying for the lion's share of the voters. In early elections, the Labour Party proved to be the most successful, with a large tent over the whole left-wing spectrum, especially under the authoritarian Kjedorate regime. However come the 1978 Seketese Revolution and the democratization of Seketese politics, many on the left broke away from the old Labour Party and re-established the organization as a political party to contest elections under a more moderate and pro-democracy platform.

The party has governed Seketan for most of the late- 20th and early 21st century, only being out of government in 1996-98 and 2005-14. This long string of electoral victories is the centre for the Socialist Question. Its notable accomplishments are setting up Seketans Health Seketan, liberalizing social policies such as LGBT+ rights in Seketan, Seketan’s admission into the EEC and being key to the democratization of Seketan.

History

Establishment

During the 1960s Seketan experienced changes in its economic and social landscape. In the provinces of Wilskland and Fjeska ethnic conflict arose, with Fjeska seeing the worst and most violent fighting which sparked on by the 1960s counterculture movement sparked protests. Later worker's unions would conduct wildcat strikes as economic conditions worsened during a recession. Under these conditions several groups of left-wing protesters came together and formed the Socialist Democracy Movement in 1968 to better coordinate their civil disobedience.

Underground organization

The movement would help fund and organize protests for just under a year until they were banned by the Kjedorate Party in 1969 for “subversive and insurgent practices”. Despite this, the group continued to meet in secret. The group was led by Patjik Moulette, a local school teacher who led a strike in 1963. During this time the organizations worked with other left-wing and pro-democratic movements such as the Workers Liberty Association, the Democratic Seketan Movement and the Student Democratic Union to plan and execute small scale protests against the Kjedorate regime.

The movement was one of the major groups to launch the wave of strikes and protests that resulted in the 1978 Seketese Revolution, most famously the 1978 Conelibek general strike. Upon the success of the revolution Moulette and several other leaders were invited to the Constitutional Convention to help form the Fourth Seketese Republic

After the adoption of the Forth Republic's Constitution Seketan's first democratic elections were held in 1978 Seketese Election. The party won the most seats and formed government with the Democrats and Liberals with Moulette as Seketan's first democratically elected Prime Minister. During his time as Prime Minister, Moulette would nationalize Seketan's oil industry under SekOil and would reform healthcare into the modern universal system it is today. He would continue to serve under various coalition and majority governments until 1994 when he retired from politics. After Moulette, the party would go through several interim leaders until 1995 when Jorgi Wethan took over leadership.

Under Wethan's leadership, the party would lose the 1996 Seketese Election to the National Conservative's and their leader James Marksonn, becoming the Chief Opposition for the first time in their history. The loss was attributed to the chaotic leadership shuffles after Moulette's departure and a struggling economy during the Early 1990's recession. Wethan would resign as party leader on election night, prompting a leadership election that would pick former Defense Minister Simeon Trejiak to lead the party in opposition.

Today

Trejiak would lead the party into the 1999 Seketese Election over the one term Marksonn government. Trejiak had won only a minority of seats and had to form a coalition with newly formed Liberal Democrats, creating a centrist government. Under Trejiaks first government several public utilities would be sold off, such as Aviation Seketan and the Seketese Liquor Corporation, as per the coalition agreement with the Liberal Democrats. After being reelected in 2003 with a stronger minority government, the party was able to form a confidence and supply agreement with the Labour Party. The second Trejiak administration would see Seketan join the Kyoto Protocol, but would be cut short after Labour abruptly left the coalition in late 2004, causing a snap election and Trejiak to lose to the CNy and their leader Tomas Sedora.

Sedora would go on to serve as Prime Minister until 2014, defeating Trejiak a few months later again in 2006, then Yeof Halison in 2010. In 2011 Eris Kellisyen ascended to the leadership, and would defeat Sedora in the 2014 election and became Prime Minister.

Kellisyen would serve as Prime Minister until facing a landslide loss in the 2021 election to the populist Our Revolution party and their leader Simy Brasa. The party's caucus was decimated, being reduced to its lowest seat count (63). On election night, Kellisyen resigned as party leader.

Today the party is led by Paul Marigon, a former minister in Kellisyen's government. They are the Official Opposition party in the Commons Council, the largest party in the State Council, and form government in 2 provinces (Bynan and Gjenor).
