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 of the ability of the party to effectively govern combined with vote splitting and ideological disputes had meant that the party had also underperformed compared to their 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 unparalleled success. Nadzieja Brzezicki is the current leader of the party and also serves as the nation's Prime Minister.

Political Platform

Economic Affairs

Economically, the Progressive Unity Party largely supports the maintenance of the status quo, with state-run companies, and workers-self-managed enterprises forming the majority of the economic apparatus. Beyond this, the Progressive Unity Party often promote the creation of three-year plans, in which scientific management of the economy is used to formulate suitable expansion goals for state-run enterprises and coordinate infrastructure concerns to best develop the Malgravean economy.

Within the past two decades, the continuation of successive three-year plans has been widely praised for coordinating the expansion of the Research Colony, however, it has also been criticised for leading to the housing crisis due to the oversupply of housing due to incorrect population estimates being used to form part of recent three-year plans.

Lately, the Progressive Unity Party have adopted reforms to the three-year plan model ensuring greater input from regional social solidarity councils and trade unions which are intended to avoid future errors.

Social Issues

On social issues, the Progressive Unity Party are typically liberal as they officially 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 country's 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 has abandoned its 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.
