The Democratic Party (Hesurian: Demokratische Partei, DP), often referred to as the Mascyllary Democratic Party (Maskillische Demokratische Partei, MDP) is a traditional liberal centre to centre-left political party in Mascylla. It is currently led by Alexander Bratge and Ines Meserburg since 2018. As a classical liberal party, it strongly advocates for human rights, civil liberties and the development of internationalism.
The MDP was founded in 1922 through the merger of various liberal parties, namely the Liberal Party and the Democrats' Party of Mascylla. Since then, it has played a significant role in the Reichsrat, holding the balance of power and having signed coalition treaties with the more traditional government parties of the SDP and the NDU, the last time with the election of Michael Meilke in 1994. Since 1924, there was no time at which the MDP was not able to surpass the 3 percent threshold, thus gaining no representation in the Reichsrat.
