Esceosian Workers' Party

The Esceosian Workers' Party (Esceosian: Iszkoszi Munkáspárt), known mostly by its acronym EWP, is a social-democratic political party in Esceosia.

It was founded on 7 April 1974 by the reform wing of the ruling East Esceosian Workers' Party. As a result of the 1978 parliamentary election, EWP won an absolute majority and entered a coalition with the liberal Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ); thus the post-communist party was released from quarantine. EWP was one of the two major parties in Esceosian politics until 1990, but it started losing support since then, slowly handing it over the the current parliamentary leader, the Esceosian Conservative Party.
