Democratic People's Party (Davostan)

The Democratic People's Party (dav.: Demokratisk Folkepartiet), (skj.: Alþýðubandalagið), is a social democratic (formerly socially liberal) political party in Davostan. Founded in 4687 briefly after the collapse of the Honorable Republican Satanailist government, it surged to a majority after snap elections that year.

Founded out of a desire to see democracy return to Davostan, the party attracted a wide range of voters, but the DFP's strongest base came from students, middle-class workers, and supporters of secularism.

As mentioned before, the party initially formed with a dominant ideology of social liberalism and progressivism, but has gradually shifted to social democracy after the elections of the party were held in 4697.

Founding
When the long-ruling Honorable Republican Satanailist government dissolved, a caretaker government assumed the role of a functioning central authority for Davostan. Made mostly up of independent, nonaligned deputies, the DFP came to be out of several local, center-left organizations mainly with the previously stated desire to see an end to state-mandated religion in both Kivonia and Davostan.

Philip Ludvigsen, a local politician and once mayor of Armonde founded the party after successfully forging alliances between these local political organizations, creating initially a broad coalition of democratic movements which have now become much more closely-knit.

Leadership of the DFP
The DFP consists of two major leadership positions, them being the Leader and Chairman. Although their names suggest most power is denoted in a Chairman, the result is the opposite: The Leader of the DFP effectively holds major powers with regards to guiding policy within the legislature, alongside shifting the party's stance on various issues.

The party's ability to guide policy from the Folketinget comes in the form of the party's third office, it being the Parliamentary Leader, whose responsibilities are largely denoted to ensuring compliance of the party's policy, and effectively serving as the voice for the rest of the DFP itself.
