Party of the Workers (Elsovia)

The Party of the Workers (French: Parti des Travailleurs; Elsovian: Parte de la Verken; PDT/PDLV) is a social democratic political party in Elsovia. It is positioned on the centre-left of the political spectrum, and is led by Karen Creulle. The PDT is currently the largest party in Elsovia and controls a minority government.
The PDT is officially committed to social-democratic ideals. The party was formed in 1906 by members of the General Workers Movement, and first won elected office in the 1950s. Its slogan since the 1930s has been "Assistance For All" and the party traditionally seeks a strong welfare state, funded through taxes and duties. Since the 1980s, the party has included more of the principles of a social market economy in its policy, allowing for privatisation of state-owned assets and services and reducing income tax progressivity, following the wave of economic liberalisation during the 1980s.
The party is a member of the Progressive Alliance.
