The Champanois Socialist Workers' Party (PSOC), officially the Socialist Workers' Party (PSO), is the founding and sole ruling party of the Champanois Federative Socialist Republic. The Champanois constitution ascribes the role of the party to be the "leading force of society and of the state." The party was officially founded on 14 July, 1924 as the Socialist Party of Orange, but following the creation of Champania in 1933, merged with the Bregalian Working Peoples' Party to form the Socialist Workers' Party. Following the September Revolution, the PSO seized power and outlawed all other political parties.
Contrary to other councilist organizations, the PSO is organized on the principle of democratic centralism, a principle that allows for open discussion on policies on the condition of unity among party members in upholding the agreed upon decision. The constitution of the Champanois Socialist Workers' Party outlines the collective ideological beliefs of the party referred to simply as "Socialism with Champanois characteristics," which is composed of, in theory, councilism, Weranian revolutionary ideas, Three Convictions, National communism, and socialist patriotism. Following the election of Merce CruèseŁes and her clique in December, the PSO has undergone radical ideological shift to what has been coined domestically as "Socialism for a New Era," which emphasizes greater party control and leadership. This ideological shift has led to the party to be criticized as functionalist by both foreign political opponents and fellow socialist states, most notably Lavana.
The highest body of the PSO is the Party Congress, which convenes every five years. While the congress is not in session, the Central Committee performs its functions, however, the central committee itself usually meets only once a year, the day-to-day running of the party is handled by the Central Bureau and Standing Committee. Members of the standing committee are viewed as the top leaders of the party and state, and the general secretary is viewed as the leader of the country. Alongside the position of general secretary, the party's leader holds the position of Chairperson of the Revolutionary Defence Committee, Premier of Champania, and is a member of the 6-person Presidency of Champania.

Collective leadership
The idea of collective leadership is a core tenant in the governance of the Socialist Workers' Party, and the idea is enshrined in the party's constitution. According to the constitution, all members of the party's Central Committee are considered by-and-large equal in standing; popularly known as "one minister, one vote." There has been some shift since the 2000s where the position of General Secretary has evolved into a position of "first among equals." The 21st National Congress of the Champanois Socialist Workers' Party further cemented this with Merce Cruèsełes being elected general secretary in addition to serving as Premier of Champania and its inaugural president.
