People's Progressive Party

Founding and Recent Years
The People's Progressive Party (originally named People for Dorvik) was founded by little-known politician Ted Cooper. Ted had no previous political experience except for the mayoral race of Fairfax (which he lost in a landslide). But initial failure would not stop Ted as he set out to change his fatherland into the nation he invisioned. Cooper and his supporters set out on a massive campaign to advertise the views of the PPP throughout the Free Republic of Dorvik. Finally, in the 2313 elections all their hard work would pay off. The PPP won 10 seats in the Senate, giving the newly-formed party political voice on the national level. Excited but not satisfied, the Cooper and the PPP went on a proposal spree, but most bills were rejected. Three last-minute bills that passed right before the election are believed to be the key to the PPP's success in the 2316 elections (doubling their seats in the Senate). Now, with a new strategy, the PPP has ambitious goals to overtake the Senate and make a serious presidential bid.

The 2319 elections brought the PPP back down to earth. After gaining a mere 5 seats in the senate (25 total), they fell well short of their goal of 40. They did, however, come in a close third in the presidential election. Former party leader Ted Cooper recently stepped down, to be replaced by his brother Mike. Ted, however, will remain the party's nomination for president because of his success.
