The Workers' Party is the newest formed far-left party, founded in January 2021. The party is known to host a range of left-wing members ranging from social democrats to communists. Though it has generally been interpreted as the successor to the then recently dissolved United Left, the party was formed with a variety of members, including former prominent members of the Social Democratic Party, such as Kevin, and the Global Labour Party. The Party has seen its largest electoral success in the states of Dixie and Puerto Rico. The party is a member of the Left Coalition that has formed between the three big left parties.

Formation and Early Days

Following the defeat of Michael Wazowski in the Dixie Senate and the continuing collapse of the United Left, Wazowski would make the decision alongside then United Left leader Ricca in forming a new party for members who did not feel as if they belonged to any of the other existing Left Coalition parties. As the idea expanded, the two would see Moonguy and former President Politophile join the party to build up the required membership and lead it to formation.

The party would form the same day as the Pirate Party, which as of May 2021 has been dissolved. The party would see criticism from day one from both sides of the political aisle. Dubbed the successor party to 'Pokeism' the party would struggle in it's early days with few members joining and both sides of the aisle unwilling to begin formal discussions.

Joining Left Coalition

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.

Gradual Growth

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 in 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.

The May Federal elections were also the first time in the Party's history in which it won a majority of votes in contested seats.
