Progressive Party (Defunct)

The Progressive Party was a third party formed in 2031 by Matt Watson. It was mostly inspired by the extinct National Progressive Party (NPP) and reformed from the historical Progressive Party which was made popular by Theodore Roosevelt. 
== Beliefs and Goals ==
The Progressive Party was one which worked to unite many voices within the United States of America who have imagined an end to the centuries-long rule of the Republican and Democratic Parties which have exploited and destroyed the core functions of our Democracy. The central ideology of the Progressive Party was Populism. Populism is a political approach which strives to appeal to ordinary people, people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups, namely the Republican and Democratic parties. It seeks to represent the true interests of the people themselves and ensure that such interests would reach the highest branch of Government, free from the influence of those established Elites that desire the exploitation of our nation.
There are many definitions and types of Populism, mainly divided between Left-wing and Right-wing Populism. However, this Party seeks to be united under a single populistic name and to represent the needs of the people on both sides of the Compass. The Progressive Party strives to further represent the unrepresented parts of the United States, mainly the voters who share the sentiment of ending the already cemented corruption that runs through the federal government itself.
== History ==
The Progressive Party was formed in 1912 by former president Theodore Roosevelt, it went extinct until 2031 when United States Representative Matt Watson revived it. During the process of creation the Progressive Party faced some criticism and denouncement from the Democratic Party which discussed compromise before it voted on the suppression of the newly formed party. 
The Progressive Party itself was in a difficult position, they didn't have an official constitution or a functional executive board, it was for these reasons that their chairman Matt Watson took away faith in his party. 
In 2035 before the election, Matt Watson would leave the Progressive Party, he went on to transfer ownership to Fathom before the party would be disbanded through referendum in 2036. The Progressive Party then dissolved, and would merge back with the Democratic Party.
