Workers' and Peasants' Party (Liechtenstein) explained
The Workers' and Peasants' Party (de|Partei der Unselbständig Erwerbenden und Kleinbauern, abbreviated UEK), also known as the Workers' and Peasants' Electoral List, was a political party in Liechtenstein. The party emerged from the national trade union movement, as no workers had been elected in the 1949 elections.[1] [2] [3] The party was founded as a delegates' assembly in 1953. It contested the February 1953 elections, it received 198 votes (6.9%) but failed to win a seat due to the 18% electoral threshold.[4] [5] The party did not contest the June 1953 elections, and has not contested any since.
