The Workers' Party of Redmont (WPR) is a left-wing political party in Redmont. Founded on January 5, 2025, it is the newest registered political party, and is currently led by its Chairwoman, MissAndrist. The WPR calls itself "big-tent", encouraging all left-wing tendencies to unite under it, and has an Anarchist, Communist, and Democratic Socialist Caucus.
History
The Workers' Party began as the Workers' Front of Redmont, and was founded by _ReDkA_on December 1, 2024. It was a small political grouping of leftists, and did not have any legal recognition. Its first leaders were _ReDkA_, Miridosso and .Sirbucket420. However, the group was largely dormant until the new year.
With the beginning of 2025 came the first Trolligarch video about Redmont, and with the influx of new players came an influx of leftists. One of those leftists was MissAndrist, who joined the Workers' Front on January 2, 2025. From the day she joined, she began helping doing membership interviews, and pushed for the group to be renamed the Workers' Party of Redmont, which they voted to name the group on January 2 in a poll, winning with six votes. The alternative choices were the Socialist Party of Redmont (0 votes) and the Labor Party of Redmont (1 vote).
The next day, on January 3, MissAndrist applied for the Workers' Party to become a legally registered party, and declared her candidacy for that month's House election. Two days later, on January 5, the party became Redmont's newest official political party. Over the next week, the Workers' Party would grow in size due to the influx of new players, and on January 11, MissAndrist became the Party's first elected representative, serving in the 29th House of Representatives.
From January 12 to January 18, the Party held its first Party Convention, voting on its January Platform and electing its first Central Committee, made up of Chairwoman MissAndrist, Kaiserin_, juniperfig, SoggehToast, and _ReDkA_. Following the Convention, committees were established to fulfill the Party's missions, including a Propaganda Committee to create campaign material, a Labor Committee to explore unionization, and a Finance Committee to handle the Party's finances. Later, however, the Financial Committee would be disbanded, and the Legal Committee would be created in its place to review Party policies, legislation, and legal representation.
On January 26, a special Senate election was held to fill the seat of Yeet_Boy, who had been nominated and confirmed as Vice President under President lcn. In an unexpected victory, the Workers' Party candidate, Goldendude15, was elected to the Senate. This victory cemented the Workers' Party as a legitimate political force in Redmont.
Structure
The Workers' Party is governed by its monthly Party Conventions, where membership comes together to draft a new platform, elect a new Central Committee, and vote on changes to the Party Charter. The Central Committee is the Party's leadership organ, and is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Party's activities.
The Party has caucuses, which are informal ideological affinity groups for like-minded people to come together. There are currently three caucuses: the Anarchist Caucus, the Communist Caucus, and the Democratic Socialist caucus. The Democratic Socialist and Communist Caucuses are about equal in size, whereas the Anarchist Caucus is comprised of a single member, that being _ReDkA_.
The Party has three committees that carry out its projects. The Propaganda Committee, chaired by Kaiserin_, creates campaign material for Workers' Party candidates or candidates endorsed by the Workers' Party, and is known for its high quality work and talented artists. The Labor Committee, chaired by Yeremyahu, is dedicated to exploring the needs of average citizens, and finding the best way to sustainably address their problems. The Legal Committee, currently without a chairperson, is tasked with representing the Party in court if need be, as well as ensuring the legality of all Party policy and legislation.
