The Progressive-Unity Party is a left-wing political party in the United Kingdom Malgrave. It is currently the largest political party in the Chamber of Representatives and the Chamber of Supervisors.
History
In the early 1970s election results for the Unity Party had proven to be extremely disappointing and it was getting close to four decades since the party had last formed a government. At this time, the Progressive Party was enjoying small localised successes at both a national and local level, however, public perceptions on the ability of the party to effectively govern combined with vote splitting and idealogical dispute had meant that the party had also underperformed compared to their own expectations.
After a series of meetings between the leadership of the Unity and Progressive Party it was decided that a merger would work both for best sides, and so the Progressive Unity Party was officially formed on the 26th of May 1978, a date which holds significant value since it was when the modern Malgravean state was founded.
Initially, the Progressive Unity Party struggled to effectively counter the effective organisation displayed by the Conservative Action Party, however, they eventually came to power following the 1980 Malgravean General Election and have since enjoyed status as one of the largest parties in the country.
Since leaving isolation the Progressive Unity Party has enjoyed unparalled success. Nadzieja Brzezicki is current leader of the party and also serves as the nations Prime Minister.
Political Platform
Economic Affairs
Economically, the Progressive Unity Party supports the status quo in regards to the maintenance of the current economic order with state-run industry, workers self-managed industries functioning together and providing suitable levels of employment and economic growth to maintain other political priorities, such as the expansion of the Research Colony. In order to assist this the Progressive Unity Party promote the completion of three-year plans, in which scientific management is used to formulate suitable expansion goals for state-run enterprises and infrastructure concerns to best develop the Malgravean economy.
In regards to taxation, the Progressive Unity Party support a variety of taxes including a progressive form of income taxation, a consumption and luxury goods tax against non-essential items and a land value tax.
Social Issues
On social issues, the Progressive Unity Party are typically liberal as they official conform to a theory of total equality in which all races, genders, sexualities, sexualities and religions are treated with equal regard and granted the same common rights. The Progressive Unity Party are fierce defenders of the 1954 Equality Act, the piece of legislation which worked to encode guaranteed protections and accessibility for non-humans alongside protections for the LGBTQ+ community.
Foreign Policy
On matters of foreign policy, the Progressive Unity Party generally support a policy of maintaining the countries membership of the Crown Alliance, although, additionally they tend to support the proposals put forward by Seo Yi-kyung which calls for deeper ties with members of the Dragon Sea Alliance and other powers such as the Greater Civilisation and Dornalian Republic an approach which has seen increased cooperation between Malgrave and DSA members.
Since ending isolationism in 2000, the Progressive Unity Party has authorised strikes against slavers in Altea, launched humanitarian operations in Crystal Spires, dispatched troops to aid Silverdale and engaged in efforts to support freedom fighters in Catedonia. Such decisions have led political observers to claim that the PUP have abandoned their charter commitments to anti-imperialism and non-aggression, although, this is a claim that has been fiercely denied by the PUP who claim that all recent interventions either fall under the efforts of a defensive war or anti-imperialism.
