Party of Labourists and Socialists (West Germany) (1990: Two Germanies)

The Party of Labourists and Socialists (German: Partei der Arbeiter und Sozialisten, PAS) is a West German Socialist political party founded in 1998, splitting from the Social Democratic Party of Germany. The party was founded in protest of the Third Way position that the new SPD leader, Gerhard Schröder, had taken.

In the 1999 election, the PAS managed to end the SPD majority, forcing the SPD to form a coalition with the Greens. This was also a move that made a sour relationship between the SPD and the PAS.

The PAS have advocated for democratic socialism, and have also been seen as a populist movement on the left. The party have said to be committed to upholding the grassroot, ensuring that the people are ruling West Germany.
