Progressive Peoples' Party (PPP)

The Progressive Peoples' Party (PPP) is a political party in the Valruzian Federation. Founded in 2602 the PPP is a new force that aims for a radical reform of the Valruzian Federation.

History
The PPP was founded in late 2602 by a series of disaffected academics upset with the direction of Valruzian politics. The academics felt that intellectual, pragmatic politics had been replaced by ideological squabblings between a triumphate of radical leftist parties (the Communist Party of Valruzia, the Valruzian Communist Party and the Philosophical Party) which placed the virtues of the state above all else, the Christian Federalist Party which had become ineffective at anything except ridiculous social conservatism, an increasingly radical libertarian force (the Left-Libertarian League) which ideologically pursued scaling back the state beyond all reason and a supposedly centre-left force (the Democratic Party for a New Society) which had lost its way, increasingly beholden to the more authoritarian instincts of both the far-left triumphate and the CFP.

Soon after its creation the PPP elected Professor Chris Terry, one of the brightest minds in Social Sciences anywhere in Terra, and the leading mind in the field of Political Science, as their leader.

The PPP aimed to carve out a new path, and bring Valruzia into the 21st century.
