Democratic Party of Zardugal

The LSDA is a political party in the Federation of Zardugal. It's predecessor was the Democratic Socialist Party, which lost many seats in a national elections leading the party to reform. It does not have an official logo but does have a party flag.

History
The LSDA was formed from the wreck of the former ruling party of the Union of Sovereign Syndicalist States. Following its breakup the party began to crumble due to infighting between Moderationists, led by current Party Chairwoman Rubena Valora, and Syndicalists, led by then party Presidential candidate Yaroslava L. Miĥaelo.

The Moderationists won out and reformed the party into the Democratic Socialist Party. Due to further infighting the party's decline continued. After the 3968 General Elections in Zardugal the party reformed into an alliance of left-leaning liberals and social democrats. It also abandoned Presidential politics and focused on regaining congressional seats.

Factions
The LSDA is divided into various factions.

Liberals
These are the current reigning faction in the party. They favour increased political rights and are generally supportive of welfare but are sceptical of unions and favour an increased military budget. They also favour religion heavily and many support the concept of a national religion. They draw most of their support from middle-class Hosians.

Social Democrats
These are the second largest faction. They are staunchly left and some even favour breaking up large media organizations and banks. They are deeply secularist. They draw support from poor areas.

Syndicalists
These are the few remaining syndicalists who were not expelled after disastrous election results. They openly praise the Syndicalist Union that ruled Zardugal and are known for being somewhat of an embarrassment to most of the party.
