History
The Diversity, Love and Rainbow Party was founded in 2018. It is an alliance of six minor Centre to Far left parties that merged to create a more powerful left wing voting bloc in West Phoenicia.
In the 2016 General National Election each party was able to obtain a small number of seats in The House of Representatives and the Senate. However there results were overshadowed by the dominant Conservative and Centrist parties who controlled the government.
Meeting a were held behind closed doors to work out a suitable alliance deal and how to organise the leadership structure. On January 2, 2018 the party leaders released a media report to annouce the party merger.
Christian and Family groups protested the alliance calling it a union of devils, due to the parties strong support of abortion, euthanasia and same sex marriage.
The party ignored the negative press and rallied citizens to join the newly formed party that saw membership increase.
Violet Hungary was elected as leader of the party. She advised the party would represent all citizens and push for changes to improve the lifestyles of all citizens and not just the upper elite.
The Socalist Party and Communist Party were also invited to join the new party, but both declined.
The West Phoenicia Empire First Party and the Coalition dismissed the new party as a fad and that they would be no real threat.
However the Diversity, Love and Rainbow Party proved the establishment wrong when at the 2019 General National Election, they obtained 127 seats in the lower house, 9 seats in the Senate and gained 2 Governorships.
After a poor performance at the 2019 General National Election The Republic Party suffered a huge drop in membership.
Internal turmoil in the party room over leadership did not help resolve the issue, they were invited by the Diversity, Love & Rainbow Party to merge with them to create an even bigger Centre-left Alliance to battle of the rise of Conservatism. Republic Party members voted overwhelmingly to merge.
