People's Party (Luthori)

The People's Party was founded in 2583 by refugees. The party quickly rose to power, achieving a plurality by February 2588. As of February 2609, that plurality has been held without interruption. Since the initial success of the PP there has been much progressive changes in Luthori. Most notable are shifts to : - local government governance - lower tax rates - progressive welfare policies

The Beginning
Initially the People's Party ran very liberal policies through the legislature in hopes to distinguish itself from the other right-wing parties. This resulted in quick electoral success but as the other parties sought compromise, the effectiveness of this was minimal and the ultimate goal of making Luthori more liberal had been achieved.

A More Progressive Luthori
With the arrival of more progressive parties, The People's Party was able to achieve great legislative accomplishments such as a Living Wage. These parties nearly lost the plurality for the People's Party - the party lost 11 seats over its first 10 years.

People's Party Renaissance - A Constitutional Blockade
In reaction to voids created by long-gone parties, the people of Luthori gave the People's Party their first opportunity to hold more than 1/3 of the seats. This has been used to block a legitimate succession. Attempts to have early elections to alter the People's Party seat totals have thus far failed and compromises are being proposed by both sides.
