The '''Workers' Party''', known as '''Parti Travailleuer''' in [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] and '''Partei der Arbeiter''' in [[East Gothic language|Gothic]] is a {{wpl|communist}} {{wpl|political party}} in [[Yonderre]]. The party was founded in 1918 by members from the [[Social Democrats (Yonderre)|Social Democrats]], breaking away to pursue a more hardline form of socialism. Formed chiefly by workers in [[Toubourg]], the party grew steadily in popularity, being first represented in [[Yonderian Parliament]] in 1928. The party grew in strength throughout the [[Great War]] years until peaking in the 1960s. Unpopular leadership led to a steady decline in popularity through the 1970s and 80s until a faction broke off and formed the [[Red-Greens (Yonderre)|Red-Greens]] in 1985, taking with them more than a third of the WP's members. | The '''Workers' Party''', known as '''''Parti Travailleuer''''' in [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] and '''''Partei der Arbeiter''''' in [[East Gothic language|Gothic]] is a {{wpl|communist}} {{wpl|political party}} in [[Yonderre]].
