Puglist Democrats

The Puglist Democrats, commonly known as the Democrats is a center-right puglist democratic political party in Undalia.
The Puglist Democrats first contested in the 1899 election and were the first party to register for the elections. The Democrats won 76 of 125 seats, forming their first government under Marius Corculum. The government would set basic laws up, determine the power each province has and what type of election system Undalia would use in order to replace the first-past-the-post system. Corculum would form a second government in 1904 after winning 78 seats. The democrats would choose Alfonsus Licinus as their prime minister after winning the 1909 election. The democrats would enter opposition in 1914 after winning only 52 seats compared to the Liberal Party’s 60 seats. The democrats would lose to the liberals in 1919, losing 2 more seats. The democrats would narrowly win the 1924 elections with 64 seats to the liberals 61. The government would be upheld in 1929 but the liberals would win a majority in 1934. In 1939, the democrats would form a minority government as neither the liberals or democrats gained a majority because of the Party of Socialist Unionists. In 1944, the democrats would agree to form a coalition with the liberals against the rising PSU. The Liberal-Democrat Coalition would last to the 1949 election when the democrats would gain a majority of 90 seats. The democrats would form a coalition with the Alternative People’s Party which had 1 seat and also included the singular independent in the National Assembly. The democrats would reform the Liberal-Democrat Coalition in 1959 as neither party could gain a majority. This coalition would have internal debates and almost collapse several times. In 1964, the unpopular coalition was voted out and the PSU won 111 seats out of 175. The Puglist Democrats would see a rupture in the party in 1966 which caused the more conservative members of the party to leave and form the New Conservative Party. The NCP would win 39 seats in the 1969 election compared to the democrats only winning 35. The democrats would almost dissolve in 1974 after only getting 12 seats compared to the NCP’s 69 but the democrats would recover in 1979, winning 51 seats and forming a coalition with the NCP which had 56 seats. The democrats would see a major loss in 1984, only winning 7 seats out of 215. The democrats would get 21 seats in 1989 and would move up to 30 seats in 1994. The Puglist Democrats is the only party to agree to cooperate with the Olive Coalition and voted for the Olive Coalition during a vote of no confidence after the start of the Undalian Civil War.
