The British Workers' Party was a major political party of the Empire of Great Britain. Positioned on the centre-left to left wing on the political spectrum, the party held significant sway over all aspects of politics for much of the regions' history.

The party was founded very early on in the Empire's history, by James Stephenson, as a way to unite the disparate leftist groupings in the Empire. The party would go on to become one of the most powerful and influential political forces in the Empire, serving as the party of origin for many important politicians such as James Forsyte, Charles Wright, Sirch Somerset and Victor Somerset. The BWP has had 7 Prime Ministers since its foundation.

The BWP was refounded on the 28th of June 2024, by Sirch Somerset and Charles Wright, previous members who had both served as Prime Minister in BWP Cabinets. It's most recent Prime Minister was Charles Wright, The Baron Huntingdon, during the Huntingdon Caretaker Premiership.

For much of it's period, the party was dominated by HRH Sirch Somerset, the Duke of York and Charles Wright, in varied positions.

The BWP merged with the Labour Party on the 08/12/2024. On that day, the Chairman Charles Wright, The Baron Huntingdon stepped down in favour of Noa de Carteret.
