	Despite the Party's formation being forged in pre-existing animosity between some factions of the far-left and the Left Coalition, as shown by the Party's ambivalence in the March 2021 Presidential Election, relations between the Workers' Party and the Left Coalition did gradually improve, with the Party formally beginning a Left Coalition member immediately following the March elections. The Workers' Party would remain in the Left Coalition for some time. Although the relationship continued to have a rocky foundation, the Left and the Workers' Party were able to work together for a period of time, allowing the Left to stay alive in politics.

	Since its formation, the Party has seen slow but steady growth, with the April State elections being the first election in the Party's history in which it contested at least a single race in every state, with new party branches being formed [[North]] and [[Jefferson]], though remaining generally minor factors. The May Federal elections additionally saw two new representatives elected on the Party's behalf, and rising WP star [[Rosa Berry]] coming close to beating established political insider [[Tedd Ddet]] in the District of Columbia's At-Large Congressional District.

			==Collapse==
			On May 15th, the Workers' Party announced its unexpected withdrawal from the Left Coalition. Driven by many things, the new congressional session led to a massive internal power struggle in the Left Coalition. This power struggle became the catalyst for many grievances held in the Workers' Party to surface and lead to their departure from the Left Coalition. This was solidified by the Right Coalition, then anchored by the Libertarian-Republican Party, publically backing [[Seeger Purdy]] for Speaker of the House. Then-Secretariat [[Seeger Purdy]] released back-to-back press releases detailing this controversy; however, the consequences of this move would be massively felt in the upcoming June elections.

			While the Workers' Party showed great momentum following the May elections, particularly for a small left-wing party, this would not last. Following the departure from the Left Coalition, internal membership would plateau and candidates from the party would become hard to find. In the June election, only one candidate ran under the Workers' Party banner, [[Ricca]] for Puerto Rico Governor. The status of the party at that moment was dire and proved to be the fatal blow to an unstable political party. The committee of Secretaries that led the party tried desperately over the following two weeks to turn the party around; however, the lack of membership and willing candidates resulted in the dissolution of the Party. Despite this, many former members would continue to maintain political careers to various degrees of success.
