The Party of the Worker's Cause (In Portuguese: Partido da Causa Operária) (PCO) is a Brazilian Trotskyist political party. It was founded in 1995 by dissidents from the Worker's Cause, a current that was expelled from the Workers' Party (PT) in 1992. The party is de-facto the smallest legalized political party in Brazil, holding the electoral number 29, with a very high membership rotation. While the official number of members stands at 4883[1], former members estimate the number of active cadres to be at around 300.[2]
