Michiganの選挙

労働者階級党(Working Class Party、WCP)は、アメリカ合衆国ミシガン州デトロイトを本拠地とする左翼政党である[1][2][3][4]。2016年のミシガン州選挙では3人の候補者を擁立した。2022年11月現在、同党はイリノイ州、メリーランド州、ミシガン州で投票権を有している[6]。

The Working Class Party (WCP) is a left-wing, political party, based in Detroit, Michigan, United States.[1][2][3][4] The Working Class Party competed in the 2016 Michigan election, presenting three candidates. The party filed twelve candidates in the 2020 election, five for the U.S. Congress, two for the Michigan State Board of Education, and five for the Michigan House of Representatives.[5] As of November 2022, the party has ballot access in Illinois, Maryland and Michigan.[6]

その他、2015年のシカゴ、2016年と2020年のボルチモア、2018年のロサンゼルスでは、労働者階級党と同じ考えを共有する候補者が「無党派」(無所属)の候補者として投票に登場した[7][8][9]。

Other candidates who shared many of the same ideas as the Working Class Party appeared as "non-partisan" (independent) candidates on the ballot in Chicago in 2015; in Baltimore in 2016 and 2020; and in Los Angeles in 2018.[7][8][9]

History

[編集]

この政党は、2011年から2013年にかけて、トロツキスト新聞『ザ・スパークThe Spark 』周辺の人々によって行われたキャンペーンにまで遡ることができる[10]

そのキャンペーンは、労働者階級が独立して組織化する必要性に焦点を当てたものだった[10]。そのキャンペーンで活動した5人が2014年の選挙に出馬した(ただし、彼らは無所属候補として投票に参加した)。候補者は下院議員、ディアボーン教育委員会、ウェイン郡コミュニティ・カレッジ評議員に立候補した。後者は唯一の対抗馬であった民主党の現職が選挙前に失脚したため当選した[11]

The candidates ran for Congress, for the Dearborn School Board and for the Wayne County Community College Trustee. The latter was elected due to his only opponent, the Democratic incumbent, being disqualified before the election.

ミシガン州の厳しい投票アクセス法にもかかわらず、2014年のキャンペーンに参加した人々は、2016年の投票に政党を擁立することに成功した。他の数十人が自発的な取り組みに参加し、彼らは必要な31,566以上の請願署名を提出した。最終的に彼らは50,000人以上の署名を提出した[12][13]。労働者階級党はミシガン州議会議員に2人、州教育委員会に1人の候補者を擁立した。

Despite the harsh ballot access laws in Michigan, the people active in the 2014 campaign managed to put a party on the ballot in 2016. With several dozen others joining the voluntary effort, they turned in more than the required 31,566 petition signatures. In the end they turned in more than 50,000.[12][13] The Working Class Party fielded two candidates for Congress and one for the State Board of Education in Michigan.

州教育委員会のWCP候補の得票率は2.7%で、ミシガン州2018年選挙で労働者階級党が投票資格を維持するために必要な22,133票を大きく上回った[14][3][15]。

The WCP candidate for the State Board of Education polled 2.7%, many more than the 22,133 votes needed for the Working Class Party to retain ballot status in the Michigan 2018 elections.[14][3][15]

Similar campaigns in other states included for alderman in Chicago in the 25th ward. Candidate Ed Hershey received 614 votes (8.23%).[16] In 2016, David Harding was on the ballot for Baltimore's City Council elections, running in the 14th district. He received 1,426 votes, (8.3%).[17] In 2018, Juan Rey ran as a candidate in California's 29th congressional district for the U.S. House of Representatives. He received 944 votes (1.45%).[18]

In the 2018 midterm elections, the Working Class Party ran eleven candidates in Michigan; five for the U.S. House, four for the Michigan state senate and two statewide candidates for the Michigan State Board of Education. Most candidates were fielded in districts in and around Detroit, but the party was also contesting districts in Grand Rapids, Flint and Saginaw.[19] The party won between 1.2% and 11.4% of the votes.

In the 2020 elections, the Working Class Party ran twelve candidates in Michigan; five candidates for the US House of Representatives, five candidates for the State House and two candidates for State Board of Education and David Harding for the mayor of Baltimore.[20][21] The party gained between 0.6% and 4.8% of the votes in the seats contested.

As of December 2020, 2,102 voters were affiliated with the WCP in Maryland.[22] The party announced plans to run candidates for governor in 2022 and for president in 2024 in order to maintain ballot access in Maryland.[23]

Ideology

[編集]

The party is actively endorsed by Spark.[24] The party supports broad positions such as putting an end to unemployment[25] and stopping the decline of pensions and social security.[26] They call for workers to look into the books of businesses.[27] They call for the unity of workers against the divide created by the bosses.[28] The party also supports the formation of a vanguard party for the working class, as they maintain that both the Republican, as well as the Democratic party, are controlled by big capital.[29]
