A Short Political History

Ardalia's Democratic Party commanded a resounding majority of the chamber from 1910-1935. During the Great War, a national unity government was formed to see the nation through the conflict. In the aftermath of the war, political instability and paralysis gripped the nation. Though the Democrats still had the highest number of seats, they had attempted to establish coalitions with the Moderates, only for those to break down a few months later. Frelno Letzek would overthrow the First Republic in 1945 and democracy would not return until his ouster and execution in 1983.

The Democratic Party returned to their former dominance in the aftermath of Letzek's regime through the remainder of the 1980's, however, their long-standing supermajories were never to happen again. During this decade, nearly a dozen parties were seated in the Assembly. The nation's economic conditions were not improving and despite the party's efforts to rebuild relations with the Pontanore, they had lost a considerable amount of their support. The Moderates, built on the principles of the Caropsyne conservative liberalism prior to Fostana rule, forced the Premier to call early elections. Ardalians were presented with an aggressive manifesto and a firm promise to ensure Ardalian-Caropsyne relations were fully restored within five years. They were swept into power and the Democrats were put into opposition. The Fostana reintroduced democracy in the Pontanore in 1993 and their affiliated colleagues in Carops were elected (abet with a tight coalition).

At first, the Moderates stumbled and the Democrats thought they could force another election to regain their control of the Premiership but their hopes were scrapped to pieces when the Moderate Government was able to deliver on their foreign policy promise with the signing of the Treaty of Taerisz in 1994. For a few years, conditions improved dramatically in Ardalia and it was beginning to look like they would dominate the next several cycles without serious opposition. That all changed with the outbreak of the Ardalian Civil War in 1996. The Moderates and the Democrats met and formed a coalition government to ensure a stable government to bring an end to the war and outright eliminate the Nationalist Front. Though Maldian's Government was supporting the legitimate government, their intelligence service was also coverting supporting the insurrectionists (this information would not be known until early in 2000).

The Ardalian Moderate Party would lose political control in 2000 due to the events of the Caropsyne Constitutional Crisis of 2000 which resulted in the devasting Siege of the Pontiana and the suicide of Haldric Maldian. The Damosca which was responsible for terrorizing friend and foe alike was dissolved by his successor Miria Seranoda. The Civil War would end a few months into Seranoda's premiership - she had banned the former intelligence service - the new Ardalian government would ban the Nationalist Front. The left-wing agenda Seranoda's election and the loss of overall credibility for the Moderate policy in light of their counterparts anti-Government actions in the Pontanore gave the Ardalian Socialist Party's best opportunity to take control of Government. Leno Frikasz and Ardor Raszan would meet for long nights with their election staff to develop the most ambitious manifesto ever presented to the voters to move Ardalia into a new age of equity, propersity, and peace. They would also quietly work with Seranoda's team to design the messaging they had used that got her elected.

As she implemented her platform and the level of positive response from the Caropsyne electorate for them, the higher the possibility of introducing such efforts in Ardalia. In the elections later that year, the Socialists claimed a majority of the seats and took over the Premiership and continue to do so this year. Tereza Darvas became leader of the Socialists in the run-up to the election and in the cycle to determine the current composition of the Assembly, grew the Socialist majority to the second-highest in all Ardalian democratic history.
