History

Decline after 21XYX

Naymir's death in 21XYX marked the beginning of a period of decline in the LFK as a national movement. Although some state parties remained competitive in their respective states' political scenes and new affiliates were established on the Eastern Seaboard, changing political conditions and a lack of clear leadership, vision, and direction from the interstate conference led most of the parties to adapt their platforms and local strategies independently. Most notably, the Etivéran Labour Party entered an electoral alliance with that state's SRA-affiliated parties, in a break with longstanding LFK tradition.

Platform

Ideological mantle

WitSoc with Coscivian characteristics and how that works.

The LFK is socially and culturally conservative, by both international and Kiravian measures.

Crona policy

The centrepiece of the contemporary LFK platform is opposition to economic and political integration between the Kiravian Federacy and Kiravian-governed territories on mainland Crona. It rejects the various proposals put forth for an "Atrassic Union" and for the incorporation of Cronan territories into the Kiravian Federacy proper. It has pledged to maintain customs and migration controls between the Federacy and Kiravian Crona, and to enact heavy restrictions on the entry of native Cronans to the Federacy. The LFK holds that barriers to the inflow of people and goods from Crona are necessary to protect Kiravian workers and domestic industries from cheap Cronan labour.

The LFK is not opposed to Kiravian neo-colonialism in Crona in principle, and has stated that an LFK administration would honour the Federacy's military, administrative, and humanitarian commitments on the continent while working toward a more "sustainable and people-centric overseas development model that is fair to ordinary people on both sides of the ocean." (sóstenaptix us plānoimdix dhevelotorsilver rív é leftix sasnarustondya ibipeśorê iosková.) Despite this being the official party line, many people with more explicit anti-colonial sentiments have rallied to the party, and there is a pronounced minority wing in favour of scaling back the Kiravian presence in Crona.

Contemporary diversity

Since 21XYY, opposition to Trans-Atrassic integration has taken centre-stage in the LKF, becoming its top policy priority and defining campaign plank.

Popular support

The LFK's core voter base are working-class people in Second Kirav and Third Kirav, especially those employed in industry, agriculture, and resource extraction. LFK parties and candidates perform most strongly in industrial and mining areas of Central, Southwestern, and Northwestern Kirav, as well as the Western and Eastern Highlands in federal elections. They do not perform well in Farravonia, the Míhanska Bay region, or the Northeast-Northeast.

The LFK does not currently have state affiliates in overseas regions of the Kiravian Federacy. A spokeswoman for the conference stated that this is not by design and that the conference would welcome affiliates from overseas states and provinces.
