The Sotirian Democratic Labour Party (Etrurian: Partito laburista democratico sotiriano di Imagua e Assime) is one of the two major political parties in Imagua and the Assimas, with the other being the Democratic Labour Party.
Established in 1997 following the merger of the National Labour Party with the Sotirian Democratic Party, the Sotirian Democratic Labour Party became the primary centre-right party in the country.
The Sotirian Democratic Labour Party would go on to win the 2000 general elections, taking control of both the Chamber of Commons and the Presidency from the Democratic Labour Party, which they would maintain until their defeat in the 2016 elections.
History
Origins
The Sotirian Democratic Labour Party is comprised of a merger of the National Labour Party, and the Sotirian Democratic Party.
The Sotirian Democratic Party was the oldest political party in Imagua and the Assimas, being established in 1892. While historically forming government for 44 of the 68 years between the granting of self-government to the Colony of Imagua in 1892 until 1960, as the dominance of Eucleo-Imaguans waned, so too did the Sotirian Democratic Party.
The National Labour Party was established in 1978, following a split in the Democratic Labour Party led by Travis Marshall, who perceived Pietro Muro's leadership as being too radical. Quickly establishing itself as a centre-right party, the National Labour Party supplanted the Sotirian Democratic Party as the main opposition party by 1984.
