As a result of the realignment, the coalition that made the [[Commonwealth Union (Urcea)|Commonwealth Union]] a viable political party were no longer possible, and the two large segments of the party - the left-wing faction and the centrist faction - broke apart.

Under the leadership of [[Ronan Cornelius Marcán]], the left-wing faction of the National Social Union departed the party by October 2015, joining the [[Democratic Labor Party (Urcea)|Democratic Labor Party]] for the purposes of that year's election. The left-wing faction would later coalesce into the [[Social Labor Party (Urcea)|Social Labor Party]] along with the original membership of the Democratic Labor Party and the [[Republican Party (Urcea)|Republican Party]] following the Casanam Conference. | ||
After several years of success, the party lost significant credibility due to its participation in the [[2018 Urcean institutional referendum]] and had a poor showing in the [[2020 Urcean elections]], compounded by the subsequent defection and capture of Ronan Cornelius Marcán. Without Marcán, and due to allegations of disloyalty associated with his actions, the Social Labor Party was largely discredited. Within the Party, the lack of a strong leader whose vision of a unified left led to major infighting. It lost a significant amount of seats in the [[2025 Urcean elections]], after which time the more traditionally Catholic [[List_of_Urcean_political_parties#Working_Families_Party|Working Families Party]] splintered away from the party. Social Labor had another poor showing in the [[2030 Urcean elections]], and subsequently disbanded in [[2031]]. | |||
Although the project of a unified left-wing party failed, the realignment had several lasting impacts. | |||
