Green Darnussian Socialist Party

The Green Darnussian Socialist Party are a left-wing political party for the working class of Darnussia.

=History= The GDSP was founded as the Darnussian Universities Socialist Club on 28 May 2523 by socialist student Michael Reilly and his friend and companion, Alexander McCallister. At first, the club was unpopular and was often targeted by extreme right-wingers who even burned down their early Headquarters, that was a small library that could be booked. Reilly was assaulted twice and McCallister was nearly killed when attacked an anrgy mob. Despite these dangers, the duo carried on and by September 2526, the club had reached 100 members. When it came time for Reilly and McCallsiter to leave university, they decided to promote the club even more rather than persue their desired careers. They struggled on, being banned twice from speaking in public because of the dangour posed to them. However, by 2535, the public had grown used to them, and membership increased dramaticly after many legislations that the public were against were being passed. Darnussia began to sway towards Socialist and Communist ideas. By 2545, nearly 65,000 people were members of the club. In 2549, Reilly and McCallister decided to become a political party. They changed to the Darnussia-Left Socialist Party but in April 2550, the Green Darnussian Socialist Party was born. The leader of the party, Michael Reilly stood down as party leader due to failing health in May 2553. Alex McCallister died the following month due to a brian tumor. David Collin McCallister, Alex McCallister's son, took over as leader of the party and went on to win 47 seats in his first election. He came second in the presidential election in 2558 losing by just one million votes. He retired from politics in March 2559 to look after his mother who has cancer. Everybody expected his son, James McCallister to take over, but James claimes to be a strong nationalist and said he want's nothing to do with his grandfathers party. So, Michael Reilly's cousin, Frank Oberskië took over in April as the leader. Michael Reilly was also addmitted to Red Stad General Hospital with a stomach infection but doctors said it wasn't seroius.
