|state = Luthori}};çThe '''Communist Party of Luthori''' is a political party in [[Luthori]] created from a merger of the Free Socialist Labour Party and the former Communist Party of Luthori and dissolved in 4763. Its main goal was the establishment of a People's Republic in Luthori and the abolition of the Empire.
   
 
The party was by far the largest political force at its creation from 4564 until 4571. From there, the party has been one of the largest political forces until the 4640's where the party experienced its first major electoral defeats and reached an historical low in [[4651 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4651]] with only 6.72 % of the votes.In 4629, the party creates an illegal paramilitary unit, the [[Red Brigades]], in opposition to the legal paramilitary forces of the government, the [[National Defence Forces]]. The Red Brigades were dissolved in 4633 as well as the NDF.

In 4697, the party organized with the [[Red Party of Luthori|RPL]] the communist revolution, changing the name of the country into People's Republic of Luthori after a [[Communist Revolution (Luthori)|Communist Revolution]]. This is one of the greatest achievements of the party.

  +
After the revolution, the party communist parties lost their absolute majority and the changes were quickly reverted back to normal. The People's Republic lasted 25 years in total, until 4720.
The party had its electoral results ranging between 15 and 25 % after the revolution and until the 4720's where the party started declining below 15 % of the votes.
 
   
  +
The party stays in the opposition for 15 years. In 4712, the communist [[Hamm I Cabinet]] is formed without the communist parties having a majority of seats, due to the dissolution of the largest party at the time.
The CPL-candidates have won 14 [[List of Heads of State of Luthori|head of state]] elections.
 
  +
  +
From 4725 until 4729, the CPL participates in various cabinets, despite the decline of the party in the [[4724 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4724 election]].
  +
  +
The CPL kept growing in the following to reach 22.89 % of the votes in [[September 4749 Luthorian parliamentary election|September 4749]] and form the short-lived [[Dalton I Cabinet]].
  +
  +
In January 4754, [[Dwayne Loops]] proclaimed himself President for life of the CPL in a move that was described as a "coup" inside the party.
  +
  +
In 4757, the party gained an historic 29.01 % of the votes, formed the [[Dalton II Cabinet]] with [[The Purple Guard]] and proclamed the [[National-communist Revolution]].
  +
  +
The party passed communist and authoritarian laws.
  +
  +
At the following election, in 4762, the party made an historically low result, with only 9.22 of the votes. This led the board members of the CPL to ask for the resignation of the President for life [[Dwayne Loops]]. He refused and the board members decided to unanimously dissolve the party.

In [[4722 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4722]], the CPL came out as the first party in the country with 26.75 % of the votes, a record since [[4624 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4624]]. Due to inactive parties, some laws passed by the far-right were repealed. However, a political crisis started and other early elections took place in [[4723 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4723]] and [[4724 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4724]]. In 4724, the CPL saw a sudden drop in its vote share with only 14.43 % of the votes gathered.

=== Governmental participation and proclamation of the Second Republic (4725-4729) ===
 
To solve the political crisis, the CPL participated in an emergency cabinet, the [[Ferina I Cabinet]] with the [[Luthorian Democratic Union|LDU]]. The cabinet lasted less than a year before the formation of the left-wing [[Blau I Cabinet]] and [[Bat-Elle I Cabinet]] lead by the [[Independent Social Democratic Party|IS]].

In [[4729 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4729]], the far-right pro-empire opposition wins the election and gains 78 seats out of 150 while the CPL keeps losing votes and loses 3 more seats. The [[T. Weston Cabinet V]] is very criticized by the CPL. A large part of the changes made by the previous cabinet are undone: euthanasia is banned, abortion is banned except in cases of rape and medical emergencies, military service is restored. In addition, due to the dissolution of other left-wing pro-republican parties, the government manages to bring back the Holy Luthorian Empire and abolishes the Second Republic.

Finally, following the dissolution of the [[Left for Progress]] and the [[Common Wealth Party]] an agreement is reached between the [[Luthorian Conservative Party|LCP]], the [[White Rose|WR]] and the [[Liberal Party of Luthori|LPL]] to form the [[Jackson II Cabinet]]. This agreement is called a "betrayal" by [[Dwayne Loops]].

This agreement is called a "betrayal" by [[Dwayne Loops]].
   
  +
The Jackson II Cabinet expanded death penalty removed economic regulations, privatised public services and finally banned abortion in all cases.
  +
  +
==== 4745 General election ====
  +
In the [[4745 Luthorian General Election|4745]] election, the CPL became the first party of the country with 22.30 % of the votes and 34 seats. The party doubled its number of seats. This can be explained by the previous dissolution of left-wing parties.
  +
  +
In the Imperator election, the CPL leader Dwayne Loops reached the second round and was defeated by a close margin with 48.79 % of the votes.
  +
  +
The first duchy elections were held at the same time. The CPL became the second party in four duchies and the fifth party in Orange. Overall, this means the party didn't win any governor race despite having a good presence in the parliaments.
  +
  +
The right-wing to far-right government gained 75 seats out of 150 at this election. Despite the situation being a stalemate, the [[Jackson II Cabinet]] decided to keep governing.
  +
  +
This started a political crisis and multiple elections were held. The CPL stayed the first party in all of them.
  +
  +
In [[4747 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4747]] and [[4748 Luthorian Parliamentary Election|4748]], the party stagnated between 22 and 23 % of the votes. In [[April 4749 Luthorian parliamentary election|April 4749]], the CPL declined and gained 19.33 % of the votes. However, a few months later, in [[September 4749 Luthorian parliamentary election|September 4749]], the party recovered from its loss with 22.89 % of the votes. The length of the political crisis prompted the far-right to support a minority CPL-led cabinet, the [[Dalton I Cabinet]]. The cabinet had to work on a budget and give more competences to the duchies.
  +
  +
=== Dalton I Cabinet (4750-4751) ===
  +
The first cabinet of [[Peter Dalton]] was sworn in on 16 July 4750. It was composed of 6 CPL ministers along with 6 LDP ministers. The speaker was Faith London from the Communist Party. Despite the fact that the [[Holy Luthori Church|HLC]] had voted in favor of the cabinet, the party did not interpret this as giving confidence and supply. This move was viewed by the HLC as a way to get [[Tina Jackson]] out of power.
  +
  +
In the [[4750 Luthorian regional elections|4750 regional elections]], the Communist Party won 5 more seats overall and stayed the first political force of the country. The party only won one governor race, in Erneshire. Its first governor since the regional elections were restored in 4745. Due to the very high results of far-right political parties, the other parties agreed to form coalitions with the CPL. In four duchies, the CPL is part of the government. Despite that, no left-wing governments could be formed after the election.
  +
  +
During the legislature, the HLC dissolved, leaving the Dalton I Cabinet with 261 seats out of 522 total seats, being one seat short of a majority. This led all parties except the CPL to vote for an early election to fill the empty seats. As a result, no bills presented by the cabinet passed the voting phase. The Dalton I Cabinet had 288 seats out of 650 after the election. The CPL slightly increased its result with 25.08 of the votes. The LDP left the cabinet soon after to form the [[Smith I Cabinet]], over disagreements with the CPL.
  +
  +
=== In the opposition (4751-4758) ===
  +
The new Smith I Cabinet had no program, which made this government unstable. In February 4753, the "Health Reform" is passed.The reform legalises abortion up to 24 weeks, implemements regulations on private clinics,  introduces and actively regulates health and safety legislation in all areas of industry and the government will from now on provide free contraceptives.
  +
  +
The bill was approved by the CPL and the LDP, while the LCP and Luthori First opposed it. What is surprising is the abstention of the White Rose, a traditionally conservative party. This prompted intense debate and criticism within the WR. Finally, the White Rose tried to pass an act to reverse the bill. It nonetheless failed because of the abstention of the LCP. The leader of the Communist Party, Dwayne Loop,s reacted: " This is really an historical reform! Thanks to the popular mobilisation and the worker's struggle, this law passed!"
  +
  +
==== Dwayne Loops becomes "President for Life" of the CPL ====
  +
Dwayne Loops orchestrated a "coup" within the Communist Party in January 4754. He declared that the office of president of the Communist Party of Luthori was from now on reserved to him. All the prominent members of the party supported Mr. Loops. However, some CPL parliamentarians left the party. 12 of them joined the LDP and 8 of them are now sitting as independent PM. The same situation also happened at the regional level. Loops reacted to this wave by minimising it: "These are just a few people who left the party. That's nothing for us. If they want to side with the capitalists, then they can do it but they'll have to pay the price electorally speaking in front of the people."
  +
  +
Mr. Loops also declared in his speech: "17 years ago, we were nothing. 12 percent of the votes. Today, we are the first party. We came back to the roots of communism, we showed the way to the left. The elites don't want to hear anything. They are RUINING this country. They don't see the poverty, they don't see all those people who suffer. Our movement is well-established in all duchies of this empire, we are running many municipalities. The worker's struggle is not over. We need to take power and make the rich pay for their oppression. Towards freedom, the worker's are marching. And that victory can only be achieved with a strong leader! (applauses)"*
  +
  +
In the [[4755 Luthorian regional elections|4755 regional elections]], the party stays the first and gains 11 seats. However, the CPL governor in Erneshire is not re-elected, leaving the party with no governors. The party is this time only party of one regional government: in Middenriding. This is due to the fact that the LCP lifted their restrictions concerning coalitions with [[Luthori First]].
  +
  +
==== Dwayne Loops win the imperatorial election ====
  +
In [[4756 Luthorian parliamentary election|4756]], the Communist party stays the first party in the parliamentary election and does not lose nor win any seats.
  +
  +
The major change is the election of Dwayne Loops as the new Imperator of the Holy Luthorian Empire. The CPL leader gained 26.26 % of the votes in the first round and 50.70 % of the votes in the second round. He benefited from the low turnout in the election.
  +
  +
Dwayne Loops gave 10 months to the parties composing the Diet to form a cabinet. Otherwise, an early election would be called.
  +
  +
After failed negotiations, in [[4757 Luthorian parliamentary election|4757]], the CPL strengthens its position with 29.01 % of the votes. The party made its best electoral result since 4617. These results and the profound transformations within [[Luthori First]] led to an historical agreement between the Communist Party and [[Luthori First]] and the formation of the [[Dalton II Cabinet]] in February 4758. The government program includes nationalisations, economic regulations and authoritarianism. The doctrine of the new government is called "national-communism".
  +
  +
=== Dalton II Cabinet (4758-4763) ===
  +
One month after the formation of the cabinet, a law legalising militias as a part of each political party is passed. This drew heavy criticism from human rights organisations.
  +
  +
Two other reforms are passed in April 4758. The first one ends the open border policy to replace it with a very restrictive control. Refugees won't receive any help from the state anymore. Hunting and fishing is also no more regulated. These reforms are not the ones of the government but partially of the opposition.
  +
  +
The government passes communist policies : all banks and the healthcare system are nationalised.
  +
  +
Authoritarian policies are also passed : police officers now carry military-grade weapons and can search a person's property without restrictions.
  +
  +
In the 4760 regional elections, the national-communists win a majority of seats. The CPL is the first party of the country with 148 seats.
  +
  +
=== Dissolution (4763) ===
  +
  +
=== 4762 election ===
  +
In the [[4762 Luthorian parliamentary election|4762 parliamentary election]], the CPL is completely laminated and makes its worst result since 111 years with only 9.22 % of the votes. Their allies of [[The Purple Guard]] gain two seats at the same time.
  +
  +
Dwayne Loops only gains 11.32 % of the votes at the imperatorial election. Its worst result since its first election in 4739.
  +
  +
After this defeat, the [[Dalton II Cabinet]] is replaced by the [[Kennedy I Cabinet]].
  +
  +
The board of the CPL asked that the President for Life [[Dwayne Loops]] resigns from its office. Loops answered that he is president for life and that he is the only one to decide.
  +
After that, the board members of the CPL unanimously decided to dissolve the party.<br />
  +
"We can't continue with a dictatorial leadership. This party deserved better than that and we're very sorry. But we have to take this decision." said Peter Dalton.<br />
  +
From November 4763, the former CPL MP sit as independents.

;çThe Communist Party of Luthori is a political party in Luthori created from a merger of the Free Socialist Labour Party and the former Communist Party of Luthori and dissolved in 4763. Its main goal was the establishment of a People's Republic in Luthori and the abolition of the Empire.

The party was by far the largest political force at its creation from 4564 until 4571. From there, the party has been one of the largest political forces until the 4640's where the party experienced its first major electoral defeats and reached an historical low in 4651 with only 6.72 % of the votes.In 4629, the party creates an illegal paramilitary unit, the Red Brigades, in opposition to the legal paramilitary forces of the government, the National Defence Forces. The Red Brigades were dissolved in 4633 as well as the NDF.

The party stabilised its results between 10 and 20 % of the votes after that. In 4680, the CPL became the first party for the first time since 4649 with 25.72 % of the votes

In 4697, the party organized with the RPL the communist revolution, changing the name of the country into People's Republic of Luthori after a Communist Revolution. This is one of the greatest achievements of the party.

After the revolution, the party communist parties lost their absolute majority and the changes were quickly reverted back to normal. The People's Republic lasted 25 years in total, until 4720.

The party stays in the opposition for 15 years. In 4712, the communist Hamm I Cabinet is formed without the communist parties having a majority of seats, due to the dissolution of the largest party at the time.

From 4725 until 4729, the CPL participates in various cabinets, despite the decline of the party in the 4724 election.

The CPL kept growing in the following to reach 22.89 % of the votes in September 4749 and form the short-lived Dalton I Cabinet.

In January 4754, Dwayne Loops proclaimed himself President for life of the CPL in a move that was described as a "coup" inside the party.

In 4757, the party gained an historic 29.01 % of the votes, formed the Dalton II Cabinet with The Purple Guard and proclamed the National-communist Revolution.

The party passed communist and authoritarian laws.

At the following election, in 4762, the party made an historically low result, with only 9.22 of the votes. This led the board members of the CPL to ask for the resignation of the President for life Dwayne Loops. He refused and the board members decided to unanimously dissolve the party.

The party had its electoral results ranging between 15 and 25 % after the Communist Revolution and until the 4720's where the party started declining below 15 % of the votes.

The CPL-candidates have won 17 head of state elections.

The party participated in many governments, regularly at the head of those cabinets, with sometimes long periods in the opposition between those cabinets.

The leader of the Communist Party of Luthori is elected every 5 years until Dwayne Loops became President for life in January 4754. The party had 8 leaders from its creation until its dissolution.

History

Foundation (4560-4564)

The party is created by Pierre Morrison and is a merger between the Free Socialist Labour Party and the former Communist party of Luthori. The party gains 47.67 % of the votes in its first election, before quickly declining.

Leadership of Pierre Morrison (4564-4594)

In 4572, the party changes its name from "Communist Party of Luthori" to "Movement for a Worker's Republic".
In 4583, the change is reverted following the departure of the libertarian faction.
In 4591, he party makes the lowest score of its history, while the new Social Democrat Party enters the parliament with 14.6 % of the votes.
The party leader, Pierre Morrison, claims that he will try to give a new look to his great party.
Despite making its lowest score, the party enters in a government with White Rose, supported by the SDP.
The coalition loses the support of the SDP after a disagrement over the education budget. The SDP calls for an early election.
Following the early election and the historical defeat of the CPL, Pierre Morrison decides to step out as a leader of the party, although he will stay president of Luthori till the end of his term. "It is now time for me to give the party to someone else. Our great popular movement needs a new departure."
Jack Lilliath is elected as the new leader of the party.

Leadership of Jack Lilliath (4564-4594)

In 4596, despite making large gains, the party stays in opposition
In 4599, the party loses some seats, mainly due to the entrance of new parties in parliament. It then decides to form a coalition with the SDP and White Rose. It is the Democratic Coalition.
In 4604, the party declares being "betrayed" by the SDP which called an early election. It decides then to stay in the opposition.
At the Luthori Parliamentary Election 4608, the party makes its better score since 4585. This is probably due to the unpopular increase of the retirement age from 63 to 65 years old and to the dissolution of the former NRIR and SDP to form the NDA.
The party decides then to form a new government with the NDA.
The government proves itself to be very effective but is also unpopular. This is why the CPL loses the election of 4611 and is relegated in the opposition.
In 4613, the party manages to reach almost 30% of the votes, although it ends up second.
The party participates in the 4614 Anti-liberalisation bill protests and is accused by the parties of the Urquhart Cabinet I of controlling the trade unions. Jack Lilliath denies any form of control.
At the 4617 election, the party regains the first place and enters in the Franklin II Cabinet.
In 4620 the party is banned for "domestic terrorism" and for their involvement in the 4614 Anti-liberalisation bill protests.
A few months after, the party ban is repealed by the Constitutional Court of Luthori.
At 76 years old, Jack Lilliath decides to retire from politics. Its daughter will be the candidate for the presidential election, while the party leader is to be elected.
Harry Franklin wins the 4621 party leadership election and therefore is the new leader of the CPL.

Decline and Franklin III and IV cabinets (4621-4636)

In 4623, unable to form a government, the CPL calls for an early election.
Despite engaging in negotiations, the CPL is unable to enter in a governing majority with the other parties.
Harry Franklin is re-elected leader of the party in 4626.
In 4628, the party stays the first party, despite losing seats. It is then part of the opposition to the Daeva Cabinet II.
In 4631, Harry Franklin is re-elected by a close margin leader of the CPL.
Despite declining results, both in the parliamentary and in the presidential elections, the CPL forms the Franklin III and Franklin IV cabinets successively. Those cabinets focused on "restoring human rights in Luthori" after years of far-right rule in the Empire.
The Franklin IV Cabinet falls after the SDP and WR decide to call for an early election, estimating that the seats in the Diet left vacant after the dissolution of the Center Alliance have to be filled to ensure full representation. The CPL takes this decision as a betrayal from the SDP and WR and decides not to pursue the coalition after the election.

New leadership and rebound (4636-4641)

In 4636, Caroline Baker surprisingly wins the CPL leadership election and thus becomes the first woman to be elected at this position.
In 4641, after a political crisis that lasted for a few years and the collapse of the Kingston Cabinet I, the CPL finally finds an agreement and Philip Hopkins becomes Prime Minister in a government composed of the same parties: the Hopkins I Cabinet.
At the 4641 CPL leadership election, Caroline Baker is re-elected as the president of the CPL.

Hopkins I Cabinet (4641-4646)

After the election, the CPL enters in the Hopkins I Cabinet with the SDP, WR and LDP. The cabinet increased social spending and decreased military spending. Prostitution was legalised and many progressive reforms were made.

4644 Election

The 4644 general election is a big deception and a historical defeat for the CPL, which only gains over 10 % of the votes. It is also the first time a CPL candidate doesn't reach the second round of the presidential/imperatorial election.

4645 Election

The CPL gains 11 seats at the early election that follows. The party however sits in the opposition and the Hopkins I Cabinet is now over.

In the opposition (4646-4653)

Caroline Baker loses the CPL leadership election in 4646. The party presidency is now held by Ahmed Al-Sissi who promised to "return to the roots of the CPL: equality, tolerance and anti-fascism".

4649 Election

In the 4649 election, the CPL is the biggest winner from the dissolution of the LDP and gains 52 seats.

The CPL is however left in the opposition to the Pope William's Cabinet.

Huge decline

The CPL loses the 4651 election and only receives 6.71 % of the votes, an historical decline. Ahmed Al-Sissi decided not to step down as the leader of the party because "the party needs a strong leader". This decline is explained by the rise of the New Left Alliance.

Jackson-Wright Cabinet (4653-4656)

Following the 4653 early election and after a political crisis that lasted for 2 years, the party joins the Jackson-Wright Cabinet. The cabinet was quickly over and just managed to increase corporation tax and provide abortion funding. Following the dissolution of the Patriots Party, the CPL calls for an early election.

In the opposition (4656-4663)

Although the party reaches the second position and gains votes, this election is seen as a huge deception for Ahmed Al-Sissi because of the rise of the far-right HLC. The CPL ministers resign and still do not want to enter in a coalition with the HLC.

The party stays in the opposition to the Pope William's Cabinet II which obtained the support of the SDP.

The HLC manages to pass ultra-conservative religious reform, angering the CPL representatives.

At the next election, the HLC declines heavily but the CPL loses two seats while gaining 0.11 % of the votes.

Following the decision of the CPL not to enter in a coalition with the ICP, the WR and the SDP since they supported part of the HLC reforms, the CPL stays in the opposition to the Stinson II Cabinet.

Following the fall of the Stinson II cabinet and the 4662 early election, the party stays in second position and gains one seat.

Hopkins II Cabinet (4663-4667)

The CPL manages to form a socially progressive cabinet with White Rose, the ICP, the PP and the WPL known as the Hopkins II Cabinet. The cabinet manages to pass most of its program before falling.

4665 early election

The Hopkins II Cabinet falls after the Justice Party of Luthori votes in favor of an early election motion. Following the election, the CPL wins 4 seats. After the election, however, following a broken promise of the CPL and the JPL to support a common candidate for the Imperator election, the ICP and White Rose leave the cabinet, leaving only the CPL and JPL in the Hopkins II Cabinet.

4666 CPL Leadership election

20 years after the last leadership election, a new contestant, Mary Cooper, tries to become the next CPL leader. She fails to win the election against Ahmed Al-Sissi who receives more than 65 % of the casted votes.

4666 early election

The CPL gains 9 seats and reaches 16.68 % of the votes.

In the opposition (4667-4683)

The Johnson Cabinet I is formed in may 4667 without the CPL.

The party nonetheless manages to pass the "An Economy for the People" bill that fixes the exchange rate and regulates the economy.

In the 4670 election, he party makes one of its worst results and gains just over 10 % of the votes, despite the dissolution of the far-left JPL before the poll. The Reichert Cabinet is formed without the CPL in 4672.

In 4674, the party bounces back from its previous bad results and reaches the third place with 14.54 % of the votes. The

Pope William's Cabinet III is composed without the CPL in 4675.

In 4677, an election is called after the dissolution of More Artania. The CPL continues to grow with 16.58 % of the votes.

In 4678, the party stagnates after the dissolution of the HLC and loses 2 seats.

In November 4678, after the dissolution of the UCP, the party gains 19.90 percent of the votes. However, an early election will be called within the following two years and the dissolution of the Patriots Party. The Weston Cabinet is formed without the CPL.

In 4680, the CPL wins the election and becomes the first party with 25.72 % of the votes, an increase of 5.83 % compared to the last election. The CPL Imperator candidate, Philip Hopkins, wins the election with 57 % of the votes. It is the first time since 4619 that a CPL-candidate wins the election of the Imperator.

However, the SDP, which was also a winner of the election, decides to form a cabinet with the ICP, which leaves the CPL in the opposition.

Election of Anthony Maker as the new CPL-Leader

Following the 4681 CPL Leadership Election, Anthony Maker becomes the new president of the CPL after the death of Ahmed Al-Sissi. Anthony Maker is part of the center wing of the CPL.

In the 4682 election, after the violent dissolution of the ICP, the CPL results stays stable although the party lost the first place but cabinet negotiations are looking difficult because of the rise of the far-right.

Maker I and II Cabinets (4683-4692)

The CPL nonetheless forms a cabinet with Anthony Maker as Prime Minister. The Maker I Cabinet passes center-left reforms and laws with the far-right in the opposition.

The CPL endures heavy losses in 4687 but stays the second party in Luthori behind the far-right Luthori First.

The CPL is relegated in the opposition for more than 1 year due to the decision of the People's Reform, a centre-right party, to enter in a cabinet with LF and White Rose.

The PR comes back to its decision and finally decides to support a new center-left cabinet with Anthony Maker at its head, the Maker II Cabinet.

The EMILY's List, with the support of the SDP and the far-right, manages to pass a law banning contraceptives for religious reasons. It is unacceptable for Anthony Maker to see such a bill pass under its leadership and the CPL calls for an early election in 4691. The election is won by the SDP with the CPL further declining, although it stays the second party of the country.

Further decline in the opposition and pre-revolutionary situation (4692-4695)

The Allen I Cabinet, which is seen as an humiliation by the communists, is composed of all the parties except the CPL. It only lasts for a year and is quickly replaced by the Conservative Coalition made of far-right parties after the 4693 election where the CPL continued its decline. These coalition were highly unstable because of dissolving parties and an early election was called for 4694.

The election saw a resurgence of the CPL and the overall communist movement with 40 % of the votes casted for communist parties.

The largest party at the time, the LCP dissolved. This lead to the formation of the communist Maker III Cabinet in 4695 despite the opposition of the monarchist party White Rose.

Communist revolution (4695-4697)

In 4697, the party organises with the RPL the Communist Revolution. The country is renamed People's Republic of Luthori, the Imperial Diet is renamed into People's Council and the number of seats is reduced to 90.

Many new communist laws regulating the economy are passed and the transition towards a communist economy is on the way.

Since the communist takeover was made without a full Diet, the communist parties decided to give way to the demands of the opposition and agreed to an early election, thinking that they would win.

4697 early election

In the opposition (4697-4712)

After the early election , the opposition won 49 seats out of 90 while the communist government won 41 seats. It is a defeat for the communists and the Weston II Cabinet is formed. The new right-wing to far-right cabinet removed all the communist laws until 4702, excepted the changes regarding the names of the country or the assembly.

From 4702, a political crisis followed and 3 early elections took place between 4704 and 4707. In none of these elections, had the communists a majority. White Rose was the first party in all of these elections and formed cabinets with various right-wing or far-right parties which dissolved one after the other, which is the reason of the political crisis.

During the political crisis, the number of seats in the People's Council was changed from 90 to 350.

In 4707, the CPL became the third party. Stability returned as White Rose formed the T. Weston III Cabinet with the support of the SDP. It is a policy shift from the SDP which leaves its old communist partners in the opposition and starts following the liberal economic policies of White Rose. The new cabinet did nothing significant, except a huge reform removing most of the environmental regulations in Luthori.

Hamm I Cabinet (4712-4719)

In the 4712 parliamentary election became the fourth party and won 18.66 % of the votes, a slight increased. However, their allies, the Anarchist Action won 22.24 % of the votes, which made the Communist Alliance a powerful political force. Following the dissolution of the Royalists, the Communist Alliance was left with a majority of seats and formed the Hamm I Cabinet under the presidency of Anthony Maker. The cabinet passed numerous laws regulating the economy, as well as socially progressive reforms. A reform of the People's Council was introduced and its number of seats was reduced to 150.

In 4717, the cabinet did not reach a majority of seats needed to continue governing. The CPL, however, has increased its vote share and received 19.29 % of the votes. The Hamm stayed a caretaker government until the far-right opposition could form one.

In 4718, Anthony Maker decides to step down from the CPL leadership. A leadership election took place in 4718 and Graham Philips was elected.

In the opposition (4719-4725)

In 4719, the far-right T. Weston IV Cabinet starts to govern. Luthori started to become progressively a theocractic state and the Holy Luthorian Empire was restored. Theses changes were vigorously opposed by the CPL.

In 4722, the CPL came out as the first party in the country with 26.75 % of the votes, a record since 4624. Due to inactive parties, some laws passed by the far-right were repealed. However, a political crisis started and other early elections took place in 4723 and 4724. In 4724, the CPL saw a sudden drop in its vote share with only 14.43 % of the votes gathered.

Governmental participation and proclamation of the Second Republic (4725-4729)

To solve the political crisis, the CPL participated in an emergency cabinet, the Ferina I Cabinet with the LDU. The cabinet lasted less than a year before the formation of the left-wing Blau I Cabinet and Bat-Elle I Cabinet lead by the IS.

Those cabinet added substantial changes to the lives of Luthorian with the abolition of military service and the death penalty, the legalisation of euthanasia and the expansion of the right to strike.

Second Republic

The government, with the help of the Bloc of the Left, which had changed its policies from pro-empire to pro-republican,proclaims the Second Republic of Luthori in 4728, restores the president offices, renames Duchies into Regions and the Imperial Diet into the National Assembly.

21 years in the opposition (4729-4750)

In 4729, the far-right pro-empire opposition wins the election and gains 78 seats out of 150 while the CPL keeps losing votes and loses 3 more seats. The T. Weston Cabinet V is very criticized by the CPL. A large part of the changes made by the previous cabinet are undone: euthanasia is banned, abortion is banned except in cases of rape and medical emergencies, military service is restored. In addition, due to the dissolution of other left-wing pro-republican parties, the government manages to bring back the Holy Luthorian Empire and abolishes the Second Republic.

In the 4733 CPL Leadership Election, Graham Philips is defeated by the revolutionary Dwayne Loops. He promises to return to the roots of communism and to oppose more progressive and socially liberal stances.

In the 4734 election, the party does not significantly increase its vote share and does not gain nor lose any seats. The CPL gains many votes in Shipleyriding and loses a lot a votes in Northriding and Erneshire.

The election results keep the CPL in the opposition for 5 more years, allowing the Jackson I Cabinet to govern. The cabinet pursued the economically liberal and socially reactionary or conservative policies of the T. Weston V Cabinet.

In April 4738, Dwayne Loops is re-elected leader of the CPL.

In May 4738, following the new governmental reform where public transports become "user-pay" instead of being fully subsidised, the Transport Working Union confirmed that 51.7 % of all members have voted for strike action. The Communist Party supported the strike action.

New political parties were founded and competed in the 4739 election. The CPL vote share decreased by 0.60 % but the party nonetheless gained 1 seat. In Middenriding, the CPL gained the first place with 25.90 % of the votes.

The election was first of foremost a victory for the far-right, gaining 39 seats. A few days after, the CPL along with all the other left-wing parties supported anti-fascist marches all across the country to protest against the rise of the far-right. An early election is called 1 year after due to the failure of the negotiations for the formation of a new cabinet and the dissolution of two represented political parties.

In 4740, the CPL loses 2 seats while its vote share stagnates and reaches 11.57 % of the votes. The dissolution of 3 parties does not benefit the left and leaves a hung parliament with the rise of the HLC.

Finally, following the dissolution of the Left for Progress and the Common Wealth Party an agreement is reached between the LCP, the WR and the LPL to form the Jackson II Cabinet. This agreement is called a "betrayal" by Dwayne Loops.

The Jackson II Cabinet expanded death penalty removed economic regulations, privatised public services and finally banned abortion in all cases.

4745 General election

In the 4745 election, the CPL became the first party of the country with 22.30 % of the votes and 34 seats. The party doubled its number of seats. This can be explained by the previous dissolution of left-wing parties.

In the Imperator election, the CPL leader Dwayne Loops reached the second round and was defeated by a close margin with 48.79 % of the votes.

The first duchy elections were held at the same time. The CPL became the second party in four duchies and the fifth party in Orange. Overall, this means the party didn't win any governor race despite having a good presence in the parliaments.

The right-wing to far-right government gained 75 seats out of 150 at this election. Despite the situation being a stalemate, the Jackson II Cabinet decided to keep governing.

This started a political crisis and multiple elections were held. The CPL stayed the first party in all of them.

In 4747 and 4748, the party stagnated between 22 and 23 % of the votes. In April 4749, the CPL declined and gained 19.33 % of the votes. However, a few months later, in September 4749, the party recovered from its loss with 22.89 % of the votes. The length of the political crisis prompted the far-right to support a minority CPL-led cabinet, the Dalton I Cabinet. The cabinet had to work on a budget and give more competences to the duchies.

Dalton I Cabinet (4750-4751)

The first cabinet of Peter Dalton was sworn in on 16 July 4750. It was composed of 6 CPL ministers along with 6 LDP ministers. The speaker was Faith London from the Communist Party. Despite the fact that the HLC had voted in favor of the cabinet, the party did not interpret this as giving confidence and supply. This move was viewed by the HLC as a way to get Tina Jackson out of power.

In the 4750 regional elections, the Communist Party won 5 more seats overall and stayed the first political force of the country. The party only won one governor race, in Erneshire. Its first governor since the regional elections were restored in 4745. Due to the very high results of far-right political parties, the other parties agreed to form coalitions with the CPL. In four duchies, the CPL is part of the government. Despite that, no left-wing governments could be formed after the election.

During the legislature, the HLC dissolved, leaving the Dalton I Cabinet with 261 seats out of 522 total seats, being one seat short of a majority. This led all parties except the CPL to vote for an early election to fill the empty seats. As a result, no bills presented by the cabinet passed the voting phase. The Dalton I Cabinet had 288 seats out of 650 after the election. The CPL slightly increased its result with 25.08 of the votes. The LDP left the cabinet soon after to form the Smith I Cabinet, over disagreements with the CPL.

In the opposition (4751-4758)

The new Smith I Cabinet had no program, which made this government unstable. In February 4753, the "Health Reform" is passed.The reform legalises abortion up to 24 weeks, implemements regulations on private clinics,  introduces and actively regulates health and safety legislation in all areas of industry and the government will from now on provide free contraceptives.

The bill was approved by the CPL and the LDP, while the LCP and Luthori First opposed it. What is surprising is the abstention of the White Rose, a traditionally conservative party. This prompted intense debate and criticism within the WR. Finally, the White Rose tried to pass an act to reverse the bill. It nonetheless failed because of the abstention of the LCP. The leader of the Communist Party, Dwayne Loop,s reacted: " This is really an historical reform! Thanks to the popular mobilisation and the worker's struggle, this law passed!"

Dwayne Loops becomes "President for Life" of the CPL

Dwayne Loops orchestrated a "coup" within the Communist Party in January 4754. He declared that the office of president of the Communist Party of Luthori was from now on reserved to him. All the prominent members of the party supported Mr. Loops. However, some CPL parliamentarians left the party. 12 of them joined the LDP and 8 of them are now sitting as independent PM. The same situation also happened at the regional level. Loops reacted to this wave by minimising it: "These are just a few people who left the party. That's nothing for us. If they want to side with the capitalists, then they can do it but they'll have to pay the price electorally speaking in front of the people."

Mr. Loops also declared in his speech: "17 years ago, we were nothing. 12 percent of the votes. Today, we are the first party. We came back to the roots of communism, we showed the way to the left. The elites don't want to hear anything. They are RUINING this country. They don't see the poverty, they don't see all those people who suffer. Our movement is well-established in all duchies of this empire, we are running many municipalities. The worker's struggle is not over. We need to take power and make the rich pay for their oppression. Towards freedom, the worker's are marching. And that victory can only be achieved with a strong leader! (applauses)"*

In the 4755 regional elections, the party stays the first and gains 11 seats. However, the CPL governor in Erneshire is not re-elected, leaving the party with no governors. The party is this time only party of one regional government: in Middenriding. This is due to the fact that the LCP lifted their restrictions concerning coalitions with Luthori First.

Dwayne Loops win the imperatorial election

In 4756, the Communist party stays the first party in the parliamentary election and does not lose nor win any seats.

The major change is the election of Dwayne Loops as the new Imperator of the Holy Luthorian Empire. The CPL leader gained 26.26 % of the votes in the first round and 50.70 % of the votes in the second round. He benefited from the low turnout in the election.

Dwayne Loops gave 10 months to the parties composing the Diet to form a cabinet. Otherwise, an early election would be called.

After failed negotiations, in 4757, the CPL strengthens its position with 29.01 % of the votes. The party made its best electoral result since 4617. These results and the profound transformations within Luthori First led to an historical agreement between the Communist Party and Luthori First and the formation of the Dalton II Cabinet in February 4758. The government program includes nationalisations, economic regulations and authoritarianism. The doctrine of the new government is called "national-communism".

Dalton II Cabinet (4758-4763)

One month after the formation of the cabinet, a law legalising militias as a part of each political party is passed. This drew heavy criticism from human rights organisations.

Two other reforms are passed in April 4758. The first one ends the open border policy to replace it with a very restrictive control. Refugees won't receive any help from the state anymore. Hunting and fishing is also no more regulated. These reforms are not the ones of the government but partially of the opposition.

The government passes communist policies : all banks and the healthcare system are nationalised.

Authoritarian policies are also passed : police officers now carry military-grade weapons and can search a person's property without restrictions.

In the 4760 regional elections, the national-communists win a majority of seats. The CPL is the first party of the country with 148 seats.

Dissolution (4763)

4762 election

In the 4762 parliamentary election, the CPL is completely laminated and makes its worst result since 111 years with only 9.22 % of the votes. Their allies of The Purple Guard gain two seats at the same time.

Dwayne Loops only gains 11.32 % of the votes at the imperatorial election. Its worst result since its first election in 4739.

After this defeat, the Dalton II Cabinet is replaced by the Kennedy I Cabinet.

The board of the CPL asked that the President for Life Dwayne Loops resigns from its office. Loops answered that he is president for life and that he is the only one to decide. After that, the board members of the CPL unanimously decided to dissolve the party.
"We can't continue with a dictatorial leadership. This party deserved better than that and we're very sorry. But we have to take this decision." said Peter Dalton.
From November 4763, the former CPL MP sit as independents.

Ideology

The party is described as a far-left party by media and observers. The party doesn't agree with the far-left classification, saying it is part of the" real left", the "people's left".
The party advocates state intervention and nationalisations as "the real way to have a functioning economy for the people".
It is also socially progressive and is in favor of abortion, LGBT rights, positive discrimination and women's rights.
Under the leadership of Dwayne Loops, the party more radical and authoritarian positions called national-communism.
