The Kolonitalen Worker's Party (Kolonital: Kolonitalen Arbeidersparty) is a political party in Vistari North Gondwana, formed from a number of disaffected Representative-Advisors and members of the North Gondwanan Assembly who were formerly a part of the Cooperative Worker's Party. The members formally defected following the 2022 Hendriksville Conference of the Vistari-Gondwanan branch of the party, over debates involving the introduction of socially progressive policy into the branch's platform to fall in line with the official stance of the Teuling Shadow Cabinet on modernization.
While sharing a number of economic stances with the Cooperative Worker's Party, the party prioritises the interests of the settler-descended, referred to as the Kolonitalen, working class. While standing on a platform of increasing the living conditions and labour rights for workers in the country, its rhetoric focuses on protections for Kolonitalen workers from alleged Chibian and native Twelijner encroachment on settler jobs.
While the party currently refuses to endorse racial segregation unlike the Kolonital National Frontier, its proposed protections for Kolonitalen urban workers have been described as attempting to erase cultural diversity in the developing region in a step back towards Apartheid policies. In addition to this, accusations that the party has little to no control of speciest and racist sentiments expressed by its members have existed from its formation. Such an assertion has been evidenced by positions taken by a number of members on welfare, a key area of its platform. While a number of different views and interpretations of welfare policy have been expressed by members, a considerable number - including a couple of Assembly members - were criticized for expressing views comparable to the brand of welfare chauvinism seen in Maankijkeland under Joren van de Loch.
