United Workers Party (Saint Lucia)
The United Workers Party is one of the two main political parties of Saint Lucia, founded in 1964 and led for decades by John Compton. It governed when Saint Lucia became an associated state of Britain in 1967 and led it to independence in 1979, with Compton as the first prime minister. It has since alternated in power with the Saint Lucia Labour Party.
