People's Power Party

The People's Power Party, or PPP, is a Socialist party in the Free Republic of Lourenne. The party was founded as the Socialist People's Party and then the Socialst People's-New Left Coailition. It got a quick start in the election of 2636 but tapered off the 2645 election.

History
The People's Power party was founded in Habroves in 2632 by a group of dedicated community organizers led by Marcus Valra. Valra wanted to organize a party that cared about the people and was dedicated to "keeping the people at the head of the government they elect." Valra brought the party to prominence after the election of 2636 where they gained 40 of the seats in the Senate. Valra, however, didn't win the presidency and was saddened because he was quite old and thought he wouldn't be able to serve if elected in a later election.

After the expansion of the party in the election of 2636 the New Left Party, a small party also out of Habroves, wanted to form a coalition with the Socialist People's Party. New Left Party Secretary Johannes Hermann von Lugendorf agreed to a permenant coalition and the party took the name Socialist People's-New Left Coalition and von Lugendorf was named vice-Chairman with Valra as Chairman.

The Party continued to grow and in the 2642 they grew to have 66 seats. The party felt energized and longed for the next election. However, in 2644 Valra became very sick. In his sickness however he continued to run the party but von Lugendorf took a major role in the day to day operation. The loss in 2645 upset the party and silently many members blamed Valra for the loss. Then in 2647 the party lost its founder to a heart attack and was deeply saddened. Valra would go on to become a martyer for the party.

After a temporary time as the New Labour Party von Lugendorf was named General Secretary and became the uncontested leader of the party. The party was renamed the People's Power Party at the order of von Lugendorf.
