The League of Equalists and Democrats (Amathian: Ⰾⰹⰳⰰ Ⰵⰳⰰⰾⰹⱎⱅⰹⰾⱁⱃ ⱎⰹ Ⰴⰵⰿⱁⰽⱃⰰⱌⰹⰾⱁⱃⰹ, tr. Liga Egaliștilor și Democraților), abbreviated as the L.E.D. (Ⰾ.Ⰵ.Ⰴ.) is an Amathian political party, founded as an alliance of moderate Equalists and Social Democrats. It has its origins in the progressive left wing of the All-Euclean League of Equalists which split off from the party before the Amathian Revolution had even begun, centered around the authors of the "Letter of the Ten", a document which heavily criticized the government of the South Euclean People's Republic, and in various Social Democratic political groups which were formed after the Revolution. This progressive, moderate Equalist wing tried to form its own party in the Party of the Democratic Equalism in Amathia, but the first parliamentary elections of the nation were disastrous for the Amathian left wing. In order to counter the increasingly powerful center-right parties, the Democratic Equalists negotiated an alliance with the Amathian Social Democrats for the presidential elections, quickly becoming the rallying point of the center-left and the second largest party in the country. Their victory in the presidential elections led to a formal union and to the creation of the League of Equalists and Democrats in 1983.
