The Democratic Party (Erish: Demokratisch Parti), or simply the Democrats, is a social democratic political party in Erishland. The party's platform advocates for curbing economic inequality, strengthening labor rights, and social justice. Alongside the Liberal Party, it is one of Erishland's two major political parties.
The modern Democratic Party arose out of the Republican factions of the Erish independence movements during the late 1800s and early 1900s. After an ideological split with the Shraderist movements, the then-Democratic League aligned itself with the Royalists that ultimately took charge following independence in 1937. During the early years of the modern democratic state, the Democrats were the dominant party, with five of the first six Presidents having been Democrats. In 2020, Democratic President Eirik Geiralkson took office, holding a coalition with the Labor Party.
