"Draymond Green" Party

*The DGP, DGSF, RDGP, and PSC/SJF are collectively referred to as the DGP or "Draymond Green" Party throughout the wiki. When talking about the PSC/SJF, their individual names will be used when distinction is needed.*

The **"Draymond Green" Party**, previously known as the **"Draymond Green" Syndicalist Federation** and the **People's Salvation Congress** (amongst other names), is the oldest active party in Australia. The party has changed ideologies throughout its existence such as going from a joke party to a right-leaning party, then later adopting anarcho-communist views, returning to a joke party, and then delved back into far left theory. These strong changes in ideologies has come from the party's merging with other parties at different times in its existence such as the Liberal National Party, the Australian Syndicalist Party, and the Australian Prison Party. The party (as PSC) also saw the splitoff of the Social Justice Front in recent times before merging back together (as the DGP). The party has held either majority government's or government via coalition throughout its entire existence up until its first de-registration in February 2021. It is regarded as the most successful and influential political party in Australian history.

## History

### The "Draymond Green" Party

Jezd7 originally registered the "Draymond Green" Party as the Australian Country Party to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on the 17th of August, which was a libertarian party supporting rural and agricultural interests, adopting the colour of brown. However shortly after - before the party was officially registered by the AEC - Jez changed the party's name to the "Draymond Green" Party on the 22nd of August (it was officially registered later that day) with the slogan "Vote Draymond or he'll drop 70 on your favourite team"; emphasizing the party's new position as a joke party. The slogan was dropped shortly after.

Jezd7 was named party leader (Bachar Houli being deputy leader at the time), and was the second party to be founded in the newly formed parliament. The party joined in coalition soon after with the Australian Prison Party and the Australian Syndicalist Party for the upcoming September election. The party contested the election with 4 candidates and won all 4 seats (LaTrobe, Corangamite, O'Connor, and Durack), however after the elected member of O'Connor left the nation shortly after their election, the seat was given to the close second-placed Labour Party. However, this loss was made up for as the newly-elected ASP member for Farrer also left the country and the seat was given to Jimmy Carr of the DGP. Party leader jezd7 was declared Deputy Prime Minister under ASP leader fivekoalasinatrenchcoat, despite the DGP having the most seats in the coalition.

#### Merger with the LNP, ASP, and APP

On October 26th, jezd7 was declared Prime Minister of the now minority government after fivekoalas fled the country, but soon after, managed to recruit the Liberal National Party (who only held a single seat) into the coalition to regain majority, and later officially merged them into the DGP.

The LNP's merger into the DGP caused a reshuffle of the Deputy Leadership, removing Bachar Houli and giving LNP leader Bromo the position, along with party member Kim il-Sung (who was appointed at an unknown date roughly around the LNP merger). The merger also caused a logo change where the colour blue was introduced onto the party's traditionally black logo. Only weeks after this merger, jezd7 made a deal to merge the fractured ASP into the "Draymond Green" Party. A few days after the ASP joined the party, the Australian Prison Party followed their lead and also joined the party.

At the 2020 November election, the DGP surprisingly lost a few seats they contested due to the "shocking" preference deals between the Australian Labour Party and the newly formed Australian Reform Party, and failed to gain an outright majority, only coming away with 6 of the 13 seats (they were still the largest party in parliament). The party retained the seats of LaTrobe, Corangamite, Lyons, and Farrer and gained the seats of Solomon and Sydney.

#### November election disappointment

*see November Election dissapointment*

The disappointment after the November election results lead to a scandal within the party, which caused Deputy Leader Bromo to leave the DGP, stating on SkyNews that he had "retired" from politics. This lead to newly elected party member Kim il-Sung to be elected Deputy Leader.

### The "Draymond Green" Syndicalist Federation

#### November election aftermath

Needing only one more seat to gain a majority, the DGP planned a confidence and supply agreement with the conservative independent member for Kennedy Killbane184. While this was underway, former ASP leader fivekoalas returned to the country under the new name Johnny Turk and conspired with jezd7 to create the "Draymond Green" Syndicalist Federation. Johnny Turk was declared co-leader to jezd7, and the party again changed logos and colours along with a strong ideological change. In this merger, the former LNP members were expelled from the party along with the newly elected member for Solomon who was controversially replaced by the new party co-leader. This widescale change within the party lead to Killbane184 to withdraw from the confidence and supply agreement, causing the DGSF to seek and sign a new agreement with the independent member for Melbourne Mike Nolan, giving them the majority and reinstating jezd7 as Prime Minister with Kim il-Sung as his Deputy.

In mid-December 2020, still angry at the results of the November election and statements by the King made on the ABC concerning the election, Jez decided to leave the country and resign from the position as Prime Minister. Jez later returned to the country and the position of Prime Minister was taken over by Kim il-Sung with Jimmy Carr becoming Deputy Prime Minister.

Shortly after this, the member for Melbourne Mike Nolan resigned from parliament, meaning the DGSF no longer had a majority in parliament, however the party made a deal with the leader of the newly formed Australian Progressive Movement Party that they would campaign for them, and in return the APMP would join in coalition if they won. The APMP candidate won the Melbourne by-election - giving the DGSF a majority once again.

Not long after the party had made the deal with the APMP and while the Melbourne by-election was in its campaign period, DGSF leader jezd7 coerced the DGSF member for Lyons to leave the party, in which the member LaundryDetergent unknowingly caused himself to stand for byelection. It was also at this time in which ALP leader and member for Grey albatrosss resigned from his seat and put the seat up for byelection. The DGSF won both these seats causing them to have a strong majority in parliament.

#### DGSF's problems with the law

After the King established the new High Court of Australia, it began sending out multiple arrest warrants over a period of a few weeks which included warrants for the arrest of DGSF party leaders Johnny Turk and jezd7 over inciting violence against the constitution. jezd7 was sentenced to 2 days in prison after pleading guilty to the charges, however Johnny Turk fled from police in events that would soon lead to invasion threats from multiple countries

*see Christmas war threats*

#### Removal of Kim Jong-il as Prime Minister

The DGSF leadership team midway through January 2021 came to the conclusion that Prime Minister Kim il-Sung (who had changed his name to Kim Jong-il)'s views were too authoritarian for the party, and henceforth voted that they no longer had confidence in his leadership as Prime Minister and instated Johnny Turk to the position. Kim Jong-il out of anger resigned his seat which was then put up for byelection.

#### Deregistration

Soon after the resignation of Kim Jong-il, the party decided to deregister itself, after both party leaders Johnny Turk and jezd7 left the nation for unknown reasons. Members of the party became independents for the short period of time between this deregistration and the February election, in which many former members joined the Australian Progressive Movement Party.

### The Resurrected "Draymond Green" Party

After former leader jezd7 returned to the nation after a number of months midway in April 2021, he reregistered the party under the new name and logo which returned the party to its original ideologies and gave the party a new pink colour. The party never contested any elections under this name as this name was adopted after the February 2021 election, and changed prior to the announcement of the June 2022 election.

### The People's Salvation Congress

The party after months of inactivity in the Australian parliament, decided to remove the "Draymond Green" from their name entirely ahead of the announcement of what was expected to be the December 2021 election, which ended up not occurring. The party lay dormant again until the announcement of the June 2022 election - the first election in over a year - when its leader jezd7 began to revive the party in hopes of another election victory.

The party won 5 seats out of 10 in the June election, and was unanimously declared the government of Australia after a deal was reached with opposition parties the Australian Labor Party and the Australian Libertarians. Jezd7 reclaimed his seat of Casey (which was formerly called LaTrobe), Bachar Houli reclaimed Durack (now called Perth), and Jimmy Carr was re-elected for Canberra (formerly called Farrer) with member VB and an NPC winning 2 other seats.

Half way through the PSC's first parliamentary term, it won the byelections of the new electorates of Durack, Ballarat, and Newcastle giving them 8/13 seats.

### Splitoff into SJF, and re-emergence of the DGP

After the announcement of the October 2022 election, the party split into 2 with leader Jezd7, Bachar Houli, and newly elected candidate The Man creating the short-lived Social Justice Front. Both the PSC and SJF contested the election winning 4 seats each (only changes in seats being PSC losing their NPC and candidate Fading Odyssey winning Sydney, SJF NPC winning Ballarat).
The parties then remerged shortly after the election to create the "Draymond Green" Party again, bringing back its original colour of black, with Draymond Green's face on the logo.
