### Flag

The **Tabrad Workers' Party**, formerly known as the **Tabrad Workers' Movement** from 82;2E until 4;3E, is a Tabradian regional socialist political party founded on 23 Ending Earth 82;2E by former members of the Tabrad Socialist Workers' Movement. Following its formation and its first electoral victory, the POT had been the dominationg force of politics in Tabrad. However, following the start of the Third Era, the POT's influence over Tabradian politics has begun to dwindle, and the party currently maintains a minority government in the Provincial Council.

## History

### Founding and Early History

On 22 Ending Earth 82;2E, Hervé Beaulieu and 9 other members of the former Tabrad Socialist Workers' Movement organised and drafted the constitution and platform of the Tabrad Workers' Movement. The following day, the party would officially be formed and registered with the Tabradian government as the constitution is adopted. Beaulieu would be elected to serve as the party's first General-Secretary.

The roots of the POT's predecessor, the MTST, can be traced back to the predecessor of the Socialist Party, the Tabradian regionalist political party, Tabrad Independence Party. Both the MTST and POT are considered the spritiual successors to the Tabrad Independence Party as all three parties share similar beliefs.

### Domination of Tabradian Politics

Like its predecessors, the POT dominated the politics of Tabrad, and generally had large influence on not only the provincial government's decisions, but that of local governments as well. In 85;2E, right before the gubernatorial election for the year, the registration count for the MTT was above 7,000. In 90;2E, it quickly grew to well over 15,000.

Under the governorship of Hervé Beaulieu, the MTT passed over 200 acts, and launched over 100 initiatives. The Tabradian economy became the strongest in Southambia, dethroning Holney, who had held the title for most of the Second Era. Beaulieu would serve as the governor of Tabrad and General-Secretary of the Tabrad Workers' Movement concurrently from 82;2E to 101;2E.

### New Era of Leadership

In 100;2E, Beaulieu announced his intention to retire from politics and as the General-Secretary for the MTT. In the 100;2E gubernatorial election, Jean-Philippe Barrault, the MTT's gubernatorial candidate, would be elected to replace Beaulieu as governor of Tabrad. In 101;2E, in the MTT's 3rd Congress, Barrault would further be elected to replace Beaulieu as the General-Secretary of the MTT. On 10 Beginnings 101;2E, Beaulieu would assume office as both the governor of Tabrad, and the General-Secretary of the MTT.

On 11 Beginnings 101;2E, the final day of the MTT's 3rd Congress, a new party platform would be adopted that declared the party's commitment to upholding the rights of the industrial worker and regulating factories to ensure safety. However, in this new party platform, it had dropped the MTT's commitment to serving Tabrad's farming population.

### Current State of the MTT

Since the commencement of Jean-Philippe Barrault's governorship, the influence that the MTT has over the politics of Tabrad has begun to dwindle. Unlike the governorship of Beaulieu, Barrault's governorship has seen the MTT's approval drop below 50%. In the #;3E provincial elections, the MTT lost its majority in the Provincial Council, and since then has lost its majority in the Tabrad Communal Council, and other local and provincial councils.

In late 4;3E, the MTT changed its named to the "Tabrad Workers' Party".

Most political scientists have predicted that the MTT will completely lose its influence over the politics of Tabrad by 10;3E.

## Ideology

According to the party's constitution, the Tabrad Workers' Movement espouses regionalist and socialist beliefs. The constitution affirms the party's support towards a greater welfare state, and the expansion of rights for workers in both agricultural and industrial fields. The party's constitution mandates the adoption of a new party platform affirming to the beliefs outlined in the constitution every other year. The party's constitution further mandates the adoption of a new agenda for the party every year.

### Social Issues

The Tabrad Workers' Movement espouses progressive belief, however its predecessor, the MTST, generally espoused more conservative belief. When the MTT was founded, it espoused progressive belief instead, and as of 4;3E, the MTT's party platform continues to affirm its support of progressive belief.
