So The 'Workers Party' I hear everyone joining as they flee labour... how are they for ppl who can't work/don't work? Disabled folk, asylum seekers, students, etc...
In political rhetoric I have the same suspicion for the term 'workers' as I do around the word 'family'.

There is still, to me, a rather conservative (small c) notion around politics prioritising the 'working man' 'working families' ... projecting a moralistic ideal to citizens; we represent you if you work hard and form yourself into taxable, economically viable breeding couples.
I like my political parties to be inclusive; queer, disabled, elderly, a refugee, starving artist, single mother, in a multicultural non-binary travelling polycule... it's all good. You are still a citizen and deserve politicians to work for policies to protect and help you.
