The Socialist Party of Tsumara is one of the major parties of Tsumara, and the one most often in government. It was founded as the Independence Party to fight for Tsumara's independence, and also for left-wing social and economic policies. When Tsumara became independent, it changed it's name to the Socialist Party of Tsumara. It has been the most successful party in Tsumara's history, however it was out of power for a long period during the Conservative Revolution, when the country shifted markedly to the right. It later regained power after the Conservative Revolution had subsided and the country shifted to the left again. It is generaly in favor of social progressivism, as well as a mixed economy and a large saftey net for the poor and unemployed.
