Haalsian People's Party

The Haalsian People's Party is the major pro-independence political party in the Royal State of Haals. Originally a social liberal party, the HPP has recently taken on a more left-libertarian note after merging with the Republican and Reformist Party of Haals in 583AER. Since 584, it has been the largest single political party in the Haalsian Assembly.
== History ==
The Haalsian People's Party was founded in 568AER upon Haals' admission to Falleentium as a social liberal party advocating independence from Falleentium. It came in first place with 17% of the vote in the following year's election, out of 15 parties that gained enough votes to enter the Haalsian State Parliament. It strongly opposed the Conservative pro-Falleen state government which formed. 
When the civilian government began to break down as the Haalsian Civil War heated up, a number of anti-Falleen political parties defected to support pro-independence rebels. Several high-ranking members of the HPP defected along with the entire Haalsian Freedom Party to create the Haalsian Freedom Alliance; however, the HPP as a whole remained as a legitimate political party and was therefore spared being banned post-war.
The party fared fairly poorly in the postwar election of 580 due to public opinion turning against divisive rhetoric, but it remained the largest pro-independence political party regardless. It formed an official opposition with help from the Republican and Reformist Party of Haals, a smaller activist-oriented party, which later merged into the HPP in 583, causing the party platform to drift from its social liberal origins into a more left-libertarian ideology. The party then rose back to its former position as the largest political party in the state in the following election in 584.
