Social Progress Party (Tukarali)

The Social Progress Party (Tukarese: Partido do Progresso Social) is a progressive, left-wing political party in Tukarali. The party was founded by local trade unionist Mário Branco after a large protest in the Tukarese capital of Yeaddin by commercial workers dissatisfied with labor laws under the Felipe Presidency.

The Social Progress Party's founding was largely a merger between a broad coalition of social liberals, social democrats, and a small number of socialists. Branco was effectively confirmed as the party's first leader on the 7th of April 4540, a mere day after the protest.

The Social Progress Party's ideology is social democracy, but also has a significant following for social liberalism and environmentalism. The party's main supporters are blue-collar workers, teachers, local business owners, and students.

Formation
On the 6th of April 4540, mere days before the elections, a significantly large but peaceful protest was staged by commercial workers in the Tukarese capital, Yeaddin. Protesting the limited intervention approach in regards to the nation's economy along with weak labor laws, many stated that they were being given poor wages that they could barely subsist on.

Mário Branco, a prominent local trade unionist was among the crowds who were protesting. Branco rallied the disgruntled workers to the center of downtown, where he gave a passionate speech siding with their troubles, giving a blistering critique of the Felipe Presidency, and boldly proclaiming the formation of the party mere moments after the speech's conclusion.

Party Leadership
The PPS has two leadership positions, with the highest position of power being delegated to the Secretary. It's lower position, the President, oversees elections and gives necessary assistance to the Secretary when required, as well as presiding over internal affairs of the party. The Secretary is often given the nomination for President. Outlined in the party's manifesto, leadership elections are to be held every 6 years.
