The '''Progressive Party''' (Dravidian: ''Kaska Purogati'', '''KP'''), officially the '''Joint Progressive Party List''' ('''JPPL'''), is a centre-left political party in [[Mel-akkam]].

==Factions==
The Progressive Party was historically a decentralised entity, with many factions which ran candidates against each other in general elections. Factionalism decreased in the 1990s before resurging and causing a split in 2022. Today, factionalism is once again prominent, even after the unity pact. Four main factions originally existed: Left, Right, National, and Centre.
===Left===
Historically the dominant faction, the Left Faction advocates for increased economic intervention and, historically, positive relations with the Eastern Bloc. On the political spectrum, it is considered to be left-wing, with some labelling it as far-left, and is considered to adhere to firmly socialist ideals, with some even labelling it as [[wikipedia:Communism|communist]]; the faction has desribed itself as supportive of anti-neoliberal [[wikipedia:Socialism of the 21st century|socialism of the 21st century]]. In 2022, it split away to form the '''Progressive Party (Nirtyam Am'mayi)''' before merging back into the main party. 9 members of the Coordinating Council are considered to be part of the Left Faction. It is led by [[Nirtyam Am'mayi]].
 
===Right===
The Right Faction advocates for economic liberalisation and pro-Western foreign policy. It has been labelled as centrist or centre-left, and adheres to [[wikipedia:Social democracy|social democracy]]. In 2022, it split away to form the '''Progressive Party (Ekabhi Prayam)''' before merging back into the main party. 7 members of the Coordinating Council are considered to be part of the Right Faction. It is led by Ekabhi Prayam.
===Centre===
The Centre Faction advocates for moderate economic and foreign policies. It is considered to be centre-left, with some labelling it as left-wing, and is typically labelled as [[wikipedia:Democratic socialism|democratic socialist]]. In 2022, it split away to form '''Progressive Unity''' before merging back into the main party. 3 members of the Coordinating Council are considered to be part of the Centre Faction.

The Progressive Party (Dravidian: Kaska Purogati, KP), known in 2023 as the Joint Progressive Party List (JPPL), is a left-leaning big tent political party in Mel-akkam. Founded in 1933 by the anti-British activist Maina Kathina as the Progressive Nonviolence Association (Dravidian: Kaska Satyagraha Purogati), the party played a significant role in securing Mel-akkam's independence. It went on to rule Mel-akkam uninterruptedly throughout the 20th century, until it lost power in 2022 and subsequently split. After a year of infighting and chaos, however, the leaders of rival KP factions agreed on a unity pact. The party was reconstituted, and went on to win the 2023 Autumnal Equinox Repeat Election.
