Trabajo y Libertad

Trabajo y Libertad (Labour and Freedom) is a party of the left running on a platform of small government and income-based taxation. As a working class party they oppose big business and globalisation and frequently cite their motto of "people before profits, justice before law". Trabajo y Libertad began as a joining of parts of Davostan's working class and anarchist movements who had become disillusioned with the centrist and right-wing parties but still sought change through the political process.

Formed shortly before the 2147 elections the TYL fared poorly gaining no seats and less than 0.1% of the total votes. However this placed them all but alongside the Davostan Renovation Party as the most successful small party and above both the Social Democratic Green Party and the Partido Revolucionario Institucional. However after early elections prompted by the withdrawal of the Liberal Agnostic Front the TYL swept to the fore claiming 57 of the Senado Federal's newly enlarged 225 seats placing it just ahead of previous majority party the Partido Laborista Socialista.

Controversy over TYL centres mostly around criminal convictions of several key members. By and large these are related to political activity such as rioting, property damage, etc. However apart from the candidate for Defence, Jose Luis Ferrer (accused of arson but acquitted for lack of evidence), no TYL candidate is known to have been involved in illegal activities.
