Democratic Party of Dolgova
The Democratic Party of Dolgova is a political party within the Dolgavas Pārdomātas Republika (Dolgava). It is based on the principles of Liberal democracy. The abreviation of the party is DPD.

Early History
The Democratic Party of Dolgova has been founded by famous politician Mindaugas, who became the first leader of the political party in May 3131.

As soon as the party was formed Mindaugas has proposed several bills and initiated several discussions within the parliament of Dolgavas Pārdomātas Republika (Dolgava) - the Saeima.

As of May 3131 the Democratic Party of Dolgova does not have any parliamentary representation within Saeima of the Dolgavas Pārdomātas Republika (Dolgava). The largest and sole party within the Saeima is the Progressive Green Party, which holds all 299 seats in the parliament.

Symbols
The Democratic Party of Dolgova is represented by an achor, which is the translated name of the capital city Enkure. The achor represents the core values of the party, which shall be anchored within democratic principles. Furthermore, the anchor is meant to be as a symbol for the traditionally strong fishery and shipping industries of the country.

Political views
The DPD espouses the most economic liberal ideas. The main goal is the creation of jobs by creating incentives for private investments. This shall be achieved, among other measures, through reduced bureaucracy, privatisation, deregulation, through removal of subsidies, and reform of collective bargaining. The national debt shall be reduced. The party supports globalisation.

In the tax policy a simple tax code is called for. The party supports a bracket income tax system, as opposed to the current 'linear' system, and, in the long-term a flat tax. Through tax cuts, the purchasing power of employees will be increased and the economy will be stimulated.

Under the slogan "As much government as necessary, as little government as possible," the DPD tries to limit the state involvement in the life of the individual as far as possible. The unifying stance for them is the idea of "creating and maintaining the freedom of individuals".

The DPD shall assist the current Government and parliamentary parties in accordance to its political views and program, with the aim to increase the overall democratic rights of the common citizen and allow it to flourish within Dolgava.

Proposed bills and debates

The DPD has been very active in proposing bills and encouraging far-reaching political debates in Dolgova. Even thoihg the political party does no have any parliamentary represenation, its members are most active in seeking consensus on various issues.

Early parliamentary elections

The DPD has proposed a bill, which - if adopted - would result in early parliamentary elections, ahead of the sheduled ones in June 3133. The proposal requires the support from the Progressive Green Party, which is the sole political party in the parliament.

Analysts are skeptical if the proposal will receive the required support. Mostly likely the DPD will have to wait till regular elections in June 3133.

Debate: Government of National Unity

The DPD has also proposed to form a Government, where it would work together with the Progressive Green Party on a power-sharing agreement.

The DPD takes particular interest in obtaining the following ministerial positions: Finance, Infrastructure and Finance, Education and Culture, Food and Agriculture, Trade and Industry. These position would allow the DPD to work on the revitalization of the economy of Dolgova. 7 other ministerial posts and the chairmanship of the Government have been proposed to teh Progressive Green Party.

Changes in the National Budget

The DPD has also proposed several changes in the national budget, with limited increase the in the immense national deficit of the country.

The DPD has proposed to increase the spending for the Head of State and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to improve the foreign image of the country, thus attracting more foreign investments and tourists.

In order to gain more tax income and combat black marketers, as well as tax evasion, more money has been proposed to the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Justice.

It is balanced out between low and middle class incomes and high income, with more than 100'000 DLD per annum.

Further Plans of the DPD
The DPD plans to work together with all political parties within Dolgova and does not seek political confrontation, merely a platform for the implementation of fair and and open political and economic reforms, as well as social reforms, which would improve the living standards of the people of Dolgova. However, a certain degree of political representation in the parliament and Government are a core pre-condition to achieve all set goals.
