Progressive Party

The Progressive Party is a major party that formed during the 15th Republic, the party was a merger party between the Discordian Technocratic Party and the Discordian Cool Party. It went on to hold a short-lived hegemony over the government and all aspects of Discordian life until it dissolved due to internal party conflicts. The party was later refounded by prominent former members Society and Fennec, attracting many former members and also new members alike. This new refounded party was the successor party to the Fier branch of the National Action Party, and also went on to regain momentum similar to that of the originals.
Upon a merger with the NAP on January 8th, 2021, the party ceased to exist.
==Formation==
The Progressive Party's origins can be traced back to its two acknowledged predecessor parties, the Discordian Technocratic Party and the Discordian Cool Party. The Discordian Technocratic Party was prominent for its then charismatic and young party leader Fennec, who led the party to considerable victory in the general elections and server-wide prominence. The Cool Party saw many similarities in ideology within the Technocratic Party, overtime relations between the two parties would build-up to the point were the two were nearly indistinguishable, and then of course to the point where the two parties merged into the Progressive Party.
==History==
The Progressive Party, under leaders Fennec and Society, assisted greatly in the restoration of the Republic, with Fennec and Dunraven serving as successive Presidents, stabilizing the new Discordian State, and building a new Discordia.
== Dissolution ==
As a result of various incidents and opposition parties, it merged into the NAP, forming the NAP-F (or NAP-Fier). However, upon the defeat of said political enemies (the VVK clan,) the Progressives once again reformed their party.
The Progressive Party was again dissolved by Wels during the Second Fennec Presidency, being succeeded by the National Action Party and the Democratic Movement.
== Ideology and Stances ==
The Progressive Party was a Discordian Progressive Party, which is not a strictly left or right wing ideology. It sought the reform of the republic into a more stable form than it is today, and was strictly anti-war, anti-military, and anti-interventionist. However, many Progressive leaders hated WTP. 
== Relations ==
The Progressive Party maintains no relations.
