Congress for Democracy (the Blues)

The Blue Party was established in 2304 as a new political movement encouraging less government interference in the lives and businesses of Gaduris and facilitating a fair and just economy.

The Blues also advocate civil human rights and also wish to ingrain in society a recognition for responsibilities to the earth and it's environment and for one human to another.

History
The first election the Blues contested, in 2304, reaped tragic results, though Leader Ross duBois understood the reality of first stepping out onto the stage with it's proposition of new and estranged policies. The party only scored 0.04%(20,467 votes).

The elections of 2305 occured due to the fall of the International Freedom Party which destablised the balance of power in the Senate and the Government of the Republic. This was the Blues' second contested election, which saw an encouragin 100% increase on it's previous electoral result. However this yield still failed to bring the Blues to any kind of influence (0.08% or 42,496 votes).

However despite a rudimentary presence in the Gaduri political scene, it managed to work very hard during the 2305-2308 Senatorial session, proposing changes to social and economic policy.

The most noticeable of actions taken by the Blues came in the form of the hopeful Freedom and Fairness Act, which to the Blues' shame, failed miserably (See Freedom and Fairness campaign below for more history on this bill).

Despite the apparent failure of the bill, the publicity brought to the Blues by it gave them enough credibility with a liberal electorate that saw the unexpected success of the 2308 Senatorial Elections.

The 2308 Senatorial Election, the Blues' third contested election, brought to the party 22.70% of the voting public equalling a cool 10,722,159 votes. The incredible jump in political influence was duely noted in the National News and political quarters of Gaduri topical conversation. This sudden acquisition of votes from existing parties equalised the influence of the three existing political groupings; equalized so much that the Senate was very nearly divided in clean quarters.

The new influence that the Blues yielded gave them better traction in the Freedom and Fairness campaign.
