I ask this because I’ve recently gotten into creating a union for my work place and noticed that North America is really the only place where a Labor or workers party never took off.

It would be probably be doable to unite the unions into a political party similar to the UK Labour party after the world wars. The major point is, is that the party would have to be purely an economic party with each individual member deciding for themselves how to vote on social issues.

    It’s to make unity among the working class easier. If everyone can agree in the economics then it’s smarter to stay quiet on divisive social issues and leave ot to the elected members to vote how they see fit.
