Socialist Labour Party

The Socialist Labour Party (SLP) is a left wing to far left political party in the Federal Republic of Concadia. In all general elections since 1912, the SLP has either been the governing party or the Official Opposition. There have been 14 SLP Prime Ministers and 31 SLP Ministries.

The party was founded in 1874 from the trade union movement and the socialist parties. It overtook the Liberal Party in the 1910s to become the main opposition to the Conservative Party, forming it's first government in 1912 under Prime Minister James McWaldon. The SLP established the People's Health Service in the 1940s as part of the creation of one of the most comprehensive welfare states in the world. Unlike most left-wing political parties in the late 20th century, the SLP did not move towards the political centre ground, despite many attempts from small groups of party members.

The Party currently forms the Federal Government of Concadia in the Federal Parliament of Concadia, having won the most seats in the 2030 snap general election. The leader of the party and the Prime Minister is Oliver Slaughter. At a sub-federal level, the party controls the most legislatures of any other party. It is a member of the Progressive Alliance and Socialist International. The party has semi-autonomous sub-federal branches and has close ties with the Green Party and the Communist Party.

At a sub-federal level, the party controls 9 governments (Alridminia, Guildia, Herhowenia, Hitwarkia, Padho, Padia, Stanham, Witlebland, the CCT), is a junior party in 2 governments (Yeorough and Buclesland) and is the Official Opposition in 14 chambers. Each sub-federal branch of the party has its own leader.
