Labour Party

The Itaterra Labour and Unionist Party, commonly known as the Labour Party [L], was a left-wing Political Party in Itaterra. Its main party platforms were socialism, nationalisation of industries and republicanism.

History
The Labour Party was formed on January 13, 2019 at 4:08 PM by Matteo Russi after the previous Political Reset earlier that day. Matteo announced his candidacy in the Legislative elections for Chairman during the 13 January Elections. Soon after, Matteo announced his candidacy for Prime Ministership with Ollys Dhylalin as his Deputy. During the elections, Labour was beaten badly with only 18.2% of the Prime Ministerial Vote and 23.8% of the Legislative Vote, though surprisingly high scores for a new party. During the Legislative elections, the Party ran for 4/5 seats and gained control of 3 districts, giving them a majority in the Legislature.

The Labour-controlled parliament then voted to remove Marsicano-Cochet as Prime Minister around 6:40 the next day. Snap elections for Prime Minister and the Legislature were called with Labour counter-intuitively losing its majority with only 1 out of the 7 seats up for grabs but winning the Prime Ministry when the Merchant Party ceded their votes to Labour, giving them a majority of the vote. Russi was sworn in as Prime Minister at 8:02PM on 14 January, making a Labour Minority Government imminent.

The stakes for the Party are high as elections may be called by Russi to try to make a majority or he might be voted out before that could ever happen. Only time will tell.

The Labour Party was dissolved on January 20, 2019 after Matteo Russi's death in the Itaterran Civil War
