Partido Trabalhista

The Partido Trabalhista Encarnaçeiro (English: Encarnaçian Labor Party) Work, also known as only Partido Trabalhista (PT) within Encarnação, is a Social Democratic political party from the island nation of Encarnação. The party is the most popular party in Encarnação, followed closely by its primary rival the Partido Democrata Cristão Encarnaçeiro (PDCE). The PT has been ruling the nation since 2004 through several terms, and has seen a large amount of popularity since its foundation in 1978 and the downfall of the Partido Nacional, which had ruled the nation for decades as the primary party in the nation.

The party originally started as a coalition of center-left and left wing parties known as the Coalizão Nacional Liberal (English: National Liberal Coalition) which sought to end the rule of the Partido Nacional shortly after the scandal that ensued after the death of Coutinho in Jungastia and the reveal of all the silent dealings the government had done with the Coutinho government such as the deportation of political rivals and other illegal acts under the Encarnaçian constitution. Shortly after the victory of the CNL coalition, the party formed from a large portion of center-left deputies and senators in parliament, which had originally been independent. The CNL shortly disbanded after its victory in the election and most deputies member of the coalition either remained independent or joined the new PT or other minor parties.

In the recent 2018 elections the PT won 27 out of the 53 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 16 out of the 31 seats in the Senate, giving it a majority on both houses of parliament. The office of Prime Minister is also held by the PT under party president Dionísio Lobo.
