The Labour Party (also known as the Workers Party or by its Chinese name, the Gongdang or Kungtang) was a centre-left political party in the Kingdom of Craftia. It was formed days before the inaugural general election in 1850 as the political wing of the trade union movement. It sat on the left of the political spectrum and was generally the third-largest party in the parliament, except for a period in 1870s where its vote collapsed and it held no seats. Labour merged with the Liberal Party to form the Democratic League of Craftia in 1892.
