Labor Party

The Labor Party is a centre-left political party in the Valkyrian Republic. Since 2016 party platform, the official ideological stance of the Labor Party has been social democracy.

Political positions
Ideology
Before 2005 and since 2016, the prevailing ideology of the Labor Party has been social democracy. However between 2005 and 2016, the party was positioned closer to the political centre while espousing social liberalism instead of social democracy. This created an internal divide within the Labor Party and would not end until the social liberals formed their own party—the Liberal Party—in 2016.

Voter base
Since the Labor Party's founding in 1986, the voter base has generally been comprised of the working class, urban workers, youth, and minorities.

Political positions
Ideology
Since 2016, liberal conservatism has been the predominant ideology of the Conservative Party. This came after the national conservatives abruptly abandoned the party to form The New Right and the centrist democrats slowly formed the Centrist Democratic Party. According to political commentators, Conservative Party is the middle ground between the Centrist Democratic Party and The New Right.

Voter base
Most Conservatives tend to be located in suburbs and rural areas and the party has the support of business owners. However, support for the Conservative Party among adherents of Valkyrianism has been split with The New Right.
