Unified Worker's Party (Korolia)

The Socialist Labour Party (Korolian: Socjalisticna Strana Pracy) is one of the two major Left-Wing parties in the Csardom of Korolia, and the leader of the nation's Libertarian Left. It was formed by former members of the ASD and disgruntled members of the Centrist Centre Union a few years after the near total collapse of Korolia's left because of the fall of the Republic.

Although the party is usually talked about as a Social Democratic party, it is more correct to call it a big-tent party of the Libertarian Left, and an alliance of Trade Unionists, Socialists, and Social Democrats. It is also one of the rare parties on Eldham that adheres to a policy of Armed Neutrality, identified in the Party as "Armed Pacifism". It is currently led by Aleksandr Zaragulov alongside the Five-Member Central Committee.

History
In the early 1070s ACA, the Alliance of Social Democrats witnessed a surge of membership with young politicians, to the point party leader Tim Lucid and the party convention chose the young Skott Zaragulov to serve as the ASD's representative in the Sejm following the elections of 1073. Skott led many of the Left-wing of Korolian politics into the party, together with his brother Aleksandr Zaragulov and Trade Unionist Matej Kolar.

Aleksandr Zaragulov and Kolar headed the Democratic Socialist wing of the ASD while Skott headed the Liberal Socialist wing, and they sided with Tim Lucid against Skott when the party debated on the issue of unification with Svalmarc (Skott opposing it). After Skott's death the left wing of the ASD was taken over by Matej Kolar, and it remained mostly cooperative until the formation of the Korolian Republic, when the vast majority of them had left the party and pursued retirement.

After the collapse of the Republic, the end of the interim Government that followed it, and the restoration of the Csardom of Korolia, the left was under represented. The Left-wing vote was split between the extremist National Agrarian Party and the Centrist-Liberal Centre Union, and at first this was expected to stay. But, a year into the Centre Union's government, Aleksandr Zaragulov was approached by disgruntled members of the Centre Union's left wing asking him if he's willing to lead the establishment of a new Party to represent the moderate/liberal left. It took a few months of convincing, but in the end it happened. Aleksandr Zaragulov, alongside a dozen former members of the ASD and CU, established the Socialist Labour Party in early 1094, and the party slowly but steadily gained popularity in Korolia until it became the leading party in Malastravna, and a contender in Rudina and Zlatoport by 1095.

Since its founding it was associated with the League of Korolian Patriots and the National Agrarian Party because of their many joint statements. But in early 1096 the Central Committee voted to officially separate the SLP from association with the NAP due to its authoritarian/extreme leaning, while still favouring cooperation with the LKP.

New Democracy Plan | Domestic Policy
With its formation the Socialist Labour Party revealed its "New Democracy Plan", which seeks to implement many democratic and constitutional reforms inspired by the system of democracy in the USSE. The NDP's plans tackle issues such as the formatting of the constitution, implementation of direct democracy, etc...

Radical Democracy
The NDP proposes to introduce many reforms inspired by direct democracy, which the SLP calls "True Democracy". Such reforms include giving the people the right to recall all elected politicians through a public referendum, the right to impeach all politicians also through impeachment and then the intervention of the Judiciary, the right to start petitions and, once they reach 5 signatures, let them go straight to a national referendum, which will require at least 60% of the population to vote in favour of to pass. The people overseeing the referendums will be the Grand Judge and the Csar. Before any of these are introduced, the SLP wishes to change the formatting of the Constitution to have better cataloging in order to make it more easy to change specific sections of it.

The SLP also is among the parties that supports the changing of the Pjervodal election system to being direct. In a plan conceived by the SLP alongside the LKP & NAP, the SLP proposed to the people that the Pjervod be elected with the Vice Pjervod as their running mate, separately of the Sejm, and that the position of "Chairman of the Sejm" be established as a sort of Speaker. Elections for the Pjervod would be concluded 2 days before those of the Sejm, and the new system will see a scheduled election date. Together with this it supported the banning of Cabinet members from concurrently serving in the Sejm.

The Sejm will also be given the right to impeach the Pjervod, Cabinet members, and Senators, to call a vote of no confidence against the Executive, and to choose to hold a vote of dissolution that will require a 2-vote majority to succeed.

New Ministries
The Socialist Labour Party believes that the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Finance as they are in Korolia are useless on their own due to them both dealing in financial and economic interests, thus it proposed to merge the two to form the "Ministry of Economy" to also centralize the economy and supposedly give the Ministers "more of a job to do". In place of the Interior Ministry it proposes to establish a "Ministry of Culture" to handle the holding of cultural events, holidays, expansion of the Korolian language, and literally anything related to the lore of Korolia.

Great Korolian Industrial Renewal | Economic Policy
With the creation of a Ministry of Economy to centralize Korolia's Economy, the Socialist Labour Party advocates for mass industrialization of cities and towns of Korolia. But, influenced by a small environmentalist faction in the party, it seeks to also introduce building regulations to ensure construction in the cities takes up the least amount of space possible in order to protect the environment and "beauty of Korolia".

Having been founded by Trade Unions, the Socialist Labour Party is a major advocate for the rights of Unions in Korolia. One of the main points of the SLP's Economic Policy is to establish a Government-sponsored national trade federation for all workers in Korolia, to ensure there is a body to fight for their interests. The SLP wishes to make strikes officially legal, being inspired by the influential strikes that are still remembered in the history of the USSE, such as the New Gehennazar Strike and Vostroyan Workers Strike.

As a Welfarist Party, the SLP favours strengthening the recently established Royal Healthcare Service and to create a Public Healthcare System to make Korolia's healthcare & education the highest quality in the world, and generally supports introducing unemployment benefits, better pensions, and paid maternal leave in Korolia.

Shining City on a Hill | Foreign Policy
The Socialist Labour Party never went into much detail on its foreign policy, it kept it simple. The SLP wishes to strengthen the armed forces greatly, and to turn the Korolian Military into a powerful army of defense in order to make Korolia a fortress. It shall remain a fortress in the SLP's eyes, as the Party advocates for neutrality on global affairs alongside a generally cooperative foreign policy with all nations, wishing to sign economically beneficial deals and non aggression pacts with Korolia's powerful neighbours.
