====Origins====

The history of the LFK begins with the founding of the Elegian? Labour Party in 21XXX by Mâkupa Naymir, a member of the Elegia? state legislature with the [CSU party]. Elegia at the time was struggling economically due to the post-Kirosocialist economic liberalisation, particularly areas like Naymir's own constituency in County Bunghole, which was reeling from a string of plant closures. Naymir, a committed {{wp|distributist}}, had in his youth been an ardent activist against the Kirosocialist régime and a strong supporter of the National Renewal Movement, but also an advocate of comprehensive land reform and the cartel politics practiced by privileged ethno-social communities and aristocratic families in many parts of the country. As such, he had persisted in politics with a strong antipathy towards his colleagues from the Socialist Party of Elegia and the traditionalist-conservative Elegian Home Party. However, he found himself increasingly working across the aisle with members of these parties and against his putative allies in the SRA-aligned Rennovation party.

==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.
