The Labour–Liberal party is a major political party in Grensalbourg. Since its formation on 20 June 2522, it has been the largest party and the ruling party under the leadership of prime minister Viktoria Murphy. It formed as a merger between the pre-existing Labour and Liberal parties just prior to the 2522 general election.

Their nickname, the Poppies, stems from the old nickname of the Labour party of Empherias, and previously to that the People's Populist Party of Empherias (which became defunct in 2417) which used the same colour and similar branding.

Electoral performance

Viktoria Murphy has led the Labour–Liberal party through every election it has contested.

In 2522, the party won 55.68% of the vote and 115 seats, a majority by itself of 28 seats, making it one of the most successful political party performances in history.

In 2525, the party won 55.45% of the vote, a decrease of 0.23 percentage points, and remained on 115 seats. For an incumbent government, this was a great result.

The latest polling has the party expected to win 39.4% of the popular vote in the upcoming 2528 general election, a decrease of 16 points, which would deliver it just 82 seats, a decrease of 33 from 2525. This is likely because of the explosion of the High Alaxian party's popularity stealing votes. Some polling aggregates believe that if polling narrows before the election, the Labour–Liberal party could win around 100 to 105 seats, maintaining a reduced but still present overall majority on their own.
