TheWorking Class Party (WCP) is aleft-wingpolitical party in the United States, based inDetroit,Michigan. WCP first gained ballot access in 2016. WCP supportsprogressive,pro-labor andsocialist policies and candidates.

The party was created byTrotskyist newspaperThe Spark and its supporters,[1] which continues to endorse the party.[2]

History

[edit]

From 2011 to 2013,The Spark conducted a campaign to encourage the working class to organize independent of theDemocratic Party.[citation needed] In 2014, five people active in that campaign ran for office asIndependent candidates.[3][4] Four candidates lost. David Roehrig won his campaign forWayne County Community College Trustee, due to his only opponent (theDemocratic incumbent) being disqualified before the election.[5]

In 2016, several dozen WCP volunteers turned in more than 50,000 signatures, above the required 31,566, which enabled WCP candidates to appear as party candidates on Michigan ballots.[6][7]

In 2016, Mary Anne Hering won enough votes for Board of Education for WCP to keepballot access in the2018 Michigan elections.[8][9]

Ideology

[edit]

The WCP argues that no working class party exists, because both the Democrats and the Republicans are controlled bythe bosses.[10] In the WCP's party program, it supports aliving wage tied toinflation andfull employment throughreductions in working time.[11] The WCP holds that the working class "won't change our situation with an election", but can "use this election to say there are [...] tens of thousands of people[ ]who agree with this program for the crisis".[11]

Election results

[edit]

The WCP has fieldedelectoral candidates in the United States forlocal,state, andfederal offices. WCP candidates usually run as official WCP candidates on their ownballot line.

No WCP candidate has yet won a contested election, however one WCP candidate won an uncontested election for theWayne County Community College Board in 2014.

As of November 2022, the party has ballot access inIllinois,Maryland, and Michigan.[12] As of December 2020, 2,102 voters were affiliated with the WCP in Maryland.[13]
