The Labour-Energy party was founded in 2364 by a movement of skilled workers, artists and intellectuals who had by and large agreed with the ideas of the socialist groups that came before but had grown wary of the bold and often irresponsible decision-making of the political powers who shared a monopolistic choke hold on the legislative body. They began by speaking out against the heavy-handedness of the Radical and Neosocialist powers, and though they introduced little legislation their voice began to be heard by the masses who, after a period of uncertainty following the Radical Party’s suggestion to extend term lengths, elected a stunning 115 LEP candidates to the Grand Majelis in the first election after its formation.
