Socialist Workers Party (Finland)

Socialist Workers Party (Finland)

Socialist Workers Party (in Finnish: "Sosialistinen Työväenpuolue") was a political party in Finland. The STP was founded in 1973 as split from Social Democratic Union of Workers and Smallholders ("Työväen ja Pienviljelijäin Sosialidemokraattinen Liitto") (TPSL). STP emerged out of a group that did not approve of the return of TPSL to the Social Democratic Party.

STP had electoral alliances with Finnish People's Democratic League ( _fi. "Suomen kansan demokraattinen liitto") (SKDL), the mass front dominated by the Communist Party of Finland (SKP) but with little success. When SKP (and SKDL) split in 1985-1986, STP joined Democratic Alternative ("Demokraattinen Vaihtoehto") (DeVa) which was founded by Communist Party of Finland (Unity) (SKPy).
