Lourenne Democratic Party

The Lourenne Democratic Party, or LDP, are a liberal, pro-democracy party in the Free Republic of Lourenne. They are commonly referred to as the LDP or, more simply, the Democrats.

History
The Democratic Party was formed in February 2463. It is a party that is not an advocate of the socialist efforts of past governments, it is a party that is not about to jump on a hazy libertarian bandwagon. It is a party dedicated to pure, solid, old fashioned democracy. We will take liberal views on different issues. For instance, we do not believe in laissez-faire politics and capitalism. We believe instead that citizens are entitled to welfare if unemployed. Our policies mainly have a more Keynesian approach to macroeconomics. We have understandably liberal views on gay rights, abortion, energy, drugs and substance abuse. We also have a moderate unitarian view of government.
