The Party of Labour and Iron (formerly the East Galway Workers’ Party) was the minor-ruling political party in the East Galwegian Socialist Republic and the oldest party in East Galway. It was led by Chairman Jan Kotoński, who was also the Premier of East Galway. It was founded by Kotoński, Thomas Jacobs and Ludwig Collins on 20 January 2022 as the Workers’ Party, and was renamed the Party of Labour and Iron on 20 April 2022. The party was formerly the only party in East Galway, until the foundation of the Liberty Front. The party was pejoratively as the Conservative Socialists, referring to bourgeois socialism.

History

The PLI was founded on 20 January 2022, as the East Galway Workers’ Party, a socialist party in the commune era. The party was the only one in the commune, preventing other parties being formed by force with help of the Free People's Army. The party chairman had become de facto leader over time, as the People’s Executive became ineffective.

During the transition period from the Commune to the Socialist Republic, the Workers’ Party renamed itself to the Party of Labour and Iron, and stopped its policy of preventing other parties forming. It shifted from its formerly far left position to a moderate right wing and later syncretic position.

Split

In September 2022, the East Galwegian Blue-Shirt Movement was founded, splitting from the PLI, causing the PLI to be reduced to a single member, Premier Jan Kotoński. Ludwig Collins would later rejoin the party in February 2023 after previously leaving to join the Blue shirts.

Dissolution

The PLI collapsed after the dissolution of East Galway in July 2023, taking with it the last bastion of socialism in the Galway Sector.

Structure

The party was structured along a strong party leader, the Chairman. The Chairman was selected by the members to lead the party into elections and to chair the management of the party.
