History
The Democratic Monarchist Party was formed in 2014 in the West Phoenician city-state of King Glenton Bush I Province.
The city-state the party was founded in is significant. King Glenton Bush I was the founder of the Bush dynasty, a hereditary monarchy that has ruled West Phoenicia since 1616.
The party is the conception of Glen Corinthians; 1st Baron of Unicorn Isles and other lesser members of the West Phoenician aristocracy.
The party is pro-monarchy, but calls for reforms to move the Head of State away from a hereditary role to an "elected" by the population role.
Much like how the Prime Minister is elected, the party calls for 5 year terms for elected Kings or Queens; elected by the population and stripping hereditary rights.
The party believes just because one is related, it does not mean they are qualified.
The party does not advocate for Emperor Glenton Gryphon-Bush II to abdicate as he has been on the throne longer than 5 years, rather they wish to reform the law now so once he does step down the next Monarch will be democratically elected.
The Democratic Monarchist Party also advocates for reducing the executive powers that are bestowed upon the Monarch.
The party also focuses on non monarch issues to draw in apathetic voters. The party advocates for a mix of Classical liberalism and Neoconservatism.
The party heavily promoted themselves across a number of key city-state that were seen as more monarchy supporting states.
The Democratic Monarchist Party in the lead up to the 2016 General National election they battled members of the Republic Party, in an effort to swing voters. They joined with the West Phoenicia Empire First Party, Animal Justice Party and the Justice Party of West Phoenicia to create a Centrist Union voting bloc to compete against the Coalition.
The first contested election in 2016 was a success, winning 23 of the 1590 seats on offer. In addition to 1 Senator.
During the 2019 General National Election ,they performed exceedly better than the prior election. Increasing their numbers in the House of Representatives and the Senate. They also won the King Glenton Bush I Province by a very small margin of 50.1%, however the win was seen as a major victory.
