Tsukumizu Democratic Party

Tsukumizu Democratic Party, abbreviated as TKDP was a political party in AteneoCord founded in the 23rd of June 2022. It was the server's ruling party from July 8 to August 14 2022. TKDP was considered as the primary opposition party in AteneoCord against rival party People's Democratic Party-People's Power.
TKDP was the primary front of the Civil Rights Movement, advocating and successfully implementing reforms that removed segregation and systemic discrimination that has been ongoing for months against members of Miriam College, and passed the historic Miriam Rights Act.
The party faced internal collapse in mid-August and lost it's status as a major party, the party has been inactive and abandoned until it would resume operations on February 17, 2023. 3 months after being declared "defunct" by Party Leader Naomi on November 1st of 2022.
The party would resume operations and reconvene after almost 3 months of inactivity and are expected to compete once again against its old rival, PDP-Laban. 
==History==
===Formation===
Naomi was a close political and business ally of U2 and was the Leader of PDP-Laban until the beginning of the the Troubleswhere relation and trust between the two deteriorated and finally broke. Naomi left PDP-Laban, and formed TKDP.
TKDP quickly gained popularity as other influential members and groups who were opposed to U2, his allies and his ideas joined the party, including people such as Robbie Rotten, Star Fox, TheFirstMine_PH, Lockheed Martin, Clueless Partisan and many more. TKDP soon became a United Front, a political alliance of different ideological factions and members, and it's only main goal was to oppose U2 and his policies.
===Rise to Power===
TKDP competed in the June 2022 General Electionand successfully won 7 seats and became the biggest party in the House of Commons of AteneoCord. But failed to be in power as PDP-Laban and AMDG formed their own coalition, leaving TKDP as the opposition party. The PDP-AMDG Coalition did not last long however, as disputes between the two party led to AMDG defecting to the opposition. This led to TKDP becoming the new ruling party, entering a coalition with AMDG and HUKATLAM on July 8, 2022.
TKDP introduced and passed the landmark Miriam Rights Act despite PDP-Laban opposition, which finally ended months of segregation and racial discrimination against AteneoCord members of Miriam College. TKDP also introduced the Admin Accountability Bill and Power to Parliament Bill. Both Bills failed in the first attempt but succeeded and was signed into law in it's second attempt with support from PDP-Laban lawmakers. 
===Decline and Fall===
TKDP faced internal collapse due to ideological differences within the members and each major member wanting to pursue it's own personal interests and goals. This was largely ignored due to the member's united stance on opposition to U2 and PDP-Laban. But in the aftermath of U2's reforms, both personally and to the party, signs of disunity started appearing.
The collapse started on August 14, 2022 with the resignation of MP Lockheed Martin from TKDP, switching to his own party, PPM and defecting to the opposition. Star Fox followed suit and resigned from TKDP, switching to an Independent Congressman, then it was followed by the AMDG Party, the then Coalition partner of TKDP, defected to form a new Government Coalition with PDP-Laban. The TKDP were once again in the Opposition. Enraged by this, Robbie Rotten resigned from both TKDP and as Member of Parliament. In just a day, TKDP lost it's status as the ruling party, and went down from 6 seats to just 3.
TKDP did not recover well from the collapse, losing it's status as a major party. By the August 2022 General Election, TKDP lost all of their seats and it's rival PDP-Laban secured a supermajority. TKDP has been inactive since then, having no involvement in AteneoCord Politics.
===Disbandment===
On November 1, 2022. Naomi disbanded TKDP and re-joined PDP-Laban.
=== Reinstatement ===
As of 2023/02/16, Naomi announced that the TKDP would be resuming operations and would be running in the Feb 2023 General Elections. She would then ask people to join her new reinstated party.
==Policies==
===Miriam/Guest rights===
The party endorsed and supported the Miriam Citizenship Bill, which was submitted by an AMDG parliament member named Pou. Who would go on to be known as Claire. It was also stressed during the campaign period that the party would pass or support a bill that would give guest and sister schools equal rights as the rest of the main Ateneo schools.
===Social Issues===
As many of it's members originated from the former 'The Plan to Change NeoCord' organization, TKDP advocated for a total crack down on AteneoCord's racism, homophobia, misogyny and other forms of toxicity. This included a total ban of all jokes and memes regarding the topic, this received wide criticism, especially from U2 and PDP-Laban as this would have silenced the entirety of AteneoCord and restricted it's Freedom of Speech.
