Libertarian Party of Darnussia

The Libertarian Party of Darnussia (LPD) is classical conservative Darnussian political party founded in April 2601, forming out of the highly unpopular Moderate Royalist Union, which formed out of the Darnussian Democrats. The LPD was founded by the Libertarian Faction of the MRU. The current chairman of the LPD is Brent Williams.

Darnussian Democrats
In the elections of 2594, the Darnussian Democrats saw a large gain in Parliament seats, becoming the second largest party in Darnussia. Meanwhile, the Moderate Coalition that was founded by the Democrats and Christian Democratic Union won the Presidency with the CDU's Colonel Thomas Slayback. Following the elections, the Democrat headquarters was moved to Merenbürg, Narikaton due to the party having its largest support in that state. In June 2595 the leadership of Allison Fielding was voted to an end and she was replaced by Alexis Menzies.

Royalism
Menzies and other Royalist Democrats took power to voice their support for the Conditional Surrender Bill in the civil war and to voice their view of reestablishing the monarchy fully. After the civil war ended, the Democrats adopted a name more suited to the union of Narikaton and Darnussia by becoming the Democrats of the United Republic. Some party members doubted the name, stating it was too long and incomplete. Many Democrats began pushing for a total name change. These Democrats reached their goal in a matter of days and the Darnussian Democrats became the Moderate Royalist Union, a name highly favored by Chairman Alexis Menzies, who led the royalist faction of the Democrats. Under this new name, the MRU carried the same views as the Democrats, but support of a monarchy was added to the parties views.

Royal Unpopularity
In the 2600 elections, royalism proved to not be very popular. In the election, the MRU lost almost 10% of its seat share, thirty seats being lost. This massive lose prompted many in the Conservative Faction to desert royalism, and the Democratic Faction meanwhile looked to having Alexis Menzies overthrown. Meanwhile, a fourth major faction formed, the Libertarian Faction; which many Conservative deserters moved to. This new faction took over the collapsing party and transformed it into the Libertarian Party of Darnussia.
