Arbeidspartij

The Arbeidspartij (LAB) or Labor Party was a Dogger political party and predecessor to the Labor Worker's Party which existed in a full state from 1923 to 1967. The party believed in an early form of Social Democracy and Europrogressivism, mostly focused on economic issues and inequalities. Most of the party's agenda was based on the beliefs of their first true leader, former Prime Minister of Doggerland J. C. Murrie. In 1967, the Arbeidspartij officially merged with the Worker's Party to create the LWP.

Economic Issues
The Arbeidspartij, as the name may suggest, was a popular front for organized labor. Thus, the party adopted a stance similar to early German Social Democracy, whilst holding against both Communism and Fascism. Its position mostly ranged from the Centre-Left to Left-Wing of Doggerland politics.

Social Issues
The Arbeidspartij was more split on social issues. There were three main groups, the Evergreens, the Murrieists, and the Populars. The Evergreens were the smallest group which were more socially progressive. They believed in rights for immigrants and minorities in Doggerland as well as better treatment for foreign minorities. They were also proponents of women's rights. For most of their existence, they were headed by Emerens Coughca, from the more moderate wing of their group.

The Murriests were closer to the social-center and followed the beliefs of J. C. Murrie, as their name may suggest. They were by far the largest group. They believed in rights for Doggerland minorities, but they were slightly more friendly towards colonialist tactics and regimes in British India and South Africa. They were the only group that outwardly fought against antisemitism, to combat the National Populist Party. Like the Evergreens, they believed in the proposition of women's rights, but to a slightly more moderate degree.

The Populars were the second largest group and were more socially conservative. They were often alienated within the Arbeidspartij in the 1930s for fear of appearing too close to the semi-fascist National Populist Party. They rose to more prominence in the Emerens Coughca regime since they were in opposition to him. They were less friendly towards minorities and quite popular with the Dutch wing of the party, especially in Medost. They were notably in favor of Doggerland itself being colonialist country, which even the Murrieists dared to ever express, due to their pseudo-isolationism.
