| Kundrati Workers Party (KWP) Party Chairman: Ena Burja Governing Body: KWP National Committee National Assembly Leader: Lucas Brumec Founders: Mitar Kladnik, Jakov Jelen, Ena Burja Founded: 5233 Students Wing: College Workers of Kundrati Youth Wing: Young Workers of Kundrati Women’s Wing: National Federation of Kundrati Working Women LGBTQ+ Wing: LGBTQ Workers of Kundrati Ideologies: Majority: Modern liberalism Factions: Centrism, Progressivism, Social Democracy Upon foundation, the KWP supported agrarianism, representing farmers and rural interests. More recently, the party began to favor more liberal positions (the term "liberal" in this sense describes modern liberalism, rather than classical liberalism or economic liberalism). Historically, the party has represented farmers, laborers, and religious and ethnic minorities as it has opposed unregulated business and finance and favored progressive income taxes. In foreign policy, internationalism (including interventionism) was a dominant theme. The party advocates for social programs targeted at the poor. The major influences for liberalism were labour unions and Ethnic minorities. Environmentalism has been a major component also. The Party is predominantly a coalition of centrists, liberals, and progressives, with significant overlap between the three groups. Political scientists characterize the KWP as less ideologically cohesive than other parties due to the broader diversity of coalitions that compose the KWP.

The KWP economic policy positions tend to align with those of middle and working class. The KWP supports a progressive tax system, higher minimum wages, Social Security, universal health care, public education, and subsidized housing. They also support infrastructure development and clean energy investments to achieve economic development and job creation. The party has at times supported centrist economic reforms that cut the size of government and reduced market regulations. The party has generally rejected both laissez-faire economics and market socialism, instead favoring Keynesian economics within a capitalist market-based system. Fiscal policy The KWP supports a more progressive tax structure to provide more services and reduce economic inequality by making sure that the wealthiest Kundratians pay more in taxes. They oppose the cutting of social services, such as Social Security, believing it to be harmful to efficiency and social justice. The KWP believe the benefits of social services in monetary and non-monetary terms are a more productive labor force and cultured population and believe that the benefits of this are greater than any benefits that could be derived from lower taxes, especially on top earners, or cuts to social services. Furthermore, the KWP see social services as essential toward providing positive freedom, freedom derived from economic opportunity. Minimum wage The KWP favors raising the minimum wage. Health Care The KWP calls for "affordable and quality health care" and favor moving toward universal health care in a variety of forms to address rising healthcare costs. Progressive KWP politicians favor a single-payer program, while liberals prefer creating a public health insurance option. Education The KWP favors improving public education by raising school standards. They also support universal preschool and expanding access to primary education, including through charter schools. They call for addressing student loan debt and reforms to reduce college tuition. Other proposals have included tuition-free public universities and reform of standardized testing. The KWP have the long-term aim of having publicly funded college education with low tuition fees, which would be available to every eligible Kundratian student. Alternatively, they encourage expanding access to post-secondary education by increasing state funding for student financial aid such as college tuition tax deductions. Environment The KWP believes that the government should protect the environment and have a history of environmentalism. In more recent years, this stance has emphasized renewable energy generation as the basis for an improved economy, greater national security, and general environmental benefits. The KWP is substantially more likely than other Kundrati parties to support environmental regulation and policies that are supportive of renewable energy. The KWP also favors expansion of conservation lands and encourages open space and rail travel to relieve highway and airport congestion and improve air quality and the economy as it "believes that communities, environmental interests, and the government should work together to protect resources while ensuring the vitality of local economies. Once Kundratians were led to believe they had to make a choice between the economy and the environment. They now know this is a false choice". The foremost environmental concern of the Kundrati Workers Party is climate change and has pressed for stern regulation of greenhouse gases. Renewable energy and fossil fuels The KWP have supported increased domestic renewable energy development, including wind and solar power farms, in an effort to reduce carbon pollution. The party's platform calls for an "all of the above" energy policy including clean energy, natural gas and domestic oil, with the desire to become energy independent. The party has supported higher taxes on oil companies and increased regulations on coal power plants, favoring a policy of reducing long-term reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, the party supports stricter fuel emissions standards to prevent air pollution. Trade agreements Many members of the KWP support fair trade policies when it comes to the issue of international trade agreements and some in the party have started supporting free trade in recent years. Social Issues The modern Kundrati Workers Party emphasizes social equality and equal opportunity. The KWP supports voting rights and minority rights, including LGBT rights. Ideological social elements in the party include cultural liberalism, civil libertarianism, and feminism. Some KWP social policies are immigration reform, electoral reform, and women's reproductive rights. Equal opportunity The KWP supports equal opportunity for all Kundarians regardless of sex, age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, or national origin. Many members of the KWP support affirmative action programs to further this goal. Voting rights The party is very supportive of improving voting rights as well as election accuracy and accessibility. They support extensions of voting time, including making election day a holiday. They support reforming the electoral system to eliminate gerrymandering, as well as passing comprehensive campaign finance reform. Abortion and reproductive rights The KWP believes that all women should have access to birth control and supports public funding of contraception for poor women. In its recent National Conferences, the KWP has called for abortion to be "safe, legal and rare"—namely, keeping it legal by rejecting laws that allow governmental interference in abortion decisions and reducing the number of abortions by promoting both knowledge of reproduction and contraception and incentives for adoption. As a matter of the right to privacy and of gender equality, many members of the KWP believe all women should have the ability to choose to abort without governmental interference. They believe that each woman, conferring with her conscience, has the right to choose for herself whether abortion is morally correct. Groups such as Kundrati Workers for Life of Kundrati represent the anti-abortion faction of the party. According to the most recent KWP National Conference, "The KWP believe every woman should be able to access high-quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion." Immigration Many KWP politicians have called for systematic reform of the immigration system such that residents that have come into Kundrati illegally have a pathway to legal citizenship. LGBT rights The KWP is supportive of LGBT rights and supports Gay marriage. Legal issues Death penalty The KWP currently opposes the death penalty. Torture Many members of the KWP are opposed to the use of torture against individuals apprehended and held prisoner by the Kundrati military. Members of the KWP contend that torture is inhumane, damages Kundratis moral standing in the world, and produces questionable results. The KWP are largely against waterboarding. Privacy The Democratic Party believes that individuals should have a right to privacy. Some members of the KWP have championed consumer protection laws that limit the sharing of consumer data between corporations and many members of the KWP believe that government should not regulate consensual noncommercial sexual conduct among adults as a matter of personal privacy.
