Formed as the Social-Labour Party in 1914, the Labour Party originally was the political arm of the trade union movement in Rainier. After World War Two and the end of the Second Centralist Republic the Labour party became the dominant party in Rainier - its first period in office between 1942-52 saw the creation of the Rainian welfare state and economic boom of the 1940's-'50's under Dominic Lennox. The party returned to power in 1969 under the charismatic Emyr Phillips who pushed through many social reforms. In 1976 the Labour party was thrown into opposition before coming back to power under Matthew Griffiths between 1984-94 who oversaw a shift to the right, embracing neoliberal economic policies with Rainier's corporatist economy being replaced with a free-market orientated one.

| - Formed as the Social-Labour Party in 1914, the Labour Party originally was the political arm of the trade union movement in Rainier. After World War Two and the end of the Second Centralist Republic the Labour party became the dominant party in Rainier - its first period in office between 1942-52 saw the creation of the Rainian welfare state and economic boom of the 1940's-'50's under Dominic Lennox. The party returned to power in 1969 under the charismatic Emyr Phillips who pushed through many social reforms. In 1976 the Labour party was thrown into opposition before coming back to power under Matthew Griffiths between 1984-94 who oversaw a shift to the right, embracing neoliberal economic policies with Rainier's corporatist economy being replaced with a free-market orientated one. By 1994 the Griffiths government had collapsed, leading to the Labour party to enter another stint in opposition that ended in 2004 when the first female Labour leader Hannah Kwong led Labour to victory in a coalition with the Green-Left Movement, serving until 2012 when the Labour party returned to the opposition benches after the government collapsed. Their current leader is former Foreign Affairs Minister and Deputy President Samuel Paul. The Labour Party currently supports social democracy, progressivism and trade unionism, having been perceived to have moved away from their democratic, Christian socialist roots. They are currently the second largest party in Rainier and the largest left-of-centre party.
