Social Radical Party (Rutania)

The Democratic Alliance (DA), is a political party in Rutania. Founded in June 3479, the Democratic Alliance subscribes to ecologism, progressivism and civil libertarianism, which it sees as the foundation of human rights. The party was founded by Ronald Williams as a split from the Moderate Democratic Party.

The 3470s - foundation
The Democratic Alliance was founded following the creation of an electoral coalition between a small splinter group from the centre-right Moderate Democratic Party and progressive independents. Ronald Williams, a former member of the Moderate Democrats, led the process of unifying the groups and ultimately forming the Democratic Alliance in June 3479.

'''The 3480s - national landslide
Despite to gain any representation in the national legislative election of 3480, the Alliance rapidly surged to become the largest party in the country in 3484. In the legislative election, the party gained over 28 percent of the vote and 160 seats. The party's leader Ronald Williams came second in the presidential elections, and made it to the second round, in which he was defeated by the Libertarian Jeremy Ward.

Political platform
The Democratic Alliance officially advocates maximised individual rights within the frames of egalitarianism. The Alliance is thus frequently described as social-liberal or social-democratic. The party advocates for progressive taxation and direct economic democracy, rather than the more strict forms of public or private ownership. On social issues, the party considers itself to be libertarian, and supports LGBT and womens' rights, as well as liberal immigration laws. However, the party wants to entirely ban the use of guns and tobacco. The Alliance claims to follow the principle of "my liberty ends where yours begins".
