Progressive Democrats of Bahari

The Progressive Democrats of Bahari (formerly the Bahari Social Democrats) is the major left-wing party in the Popular Republic of Bahari. Formed in the 14th of April 2090, it quickly gained seats after the National Force, an ultranationalist party formerly operating in the country, dissolved. The party was in the vanguard of what the progressive side of Bahari could do, making proposals key to a modern country and voting down many proposals made by the conservative Kahinist Republican Party. But in 2094, after a bad result for the left, the party secretary decided it would merge with the more left-wing AHADWA to form a big tent party of the left. However, AHADWA also met its end after disaster in the 2099 elections, being squeezed out by the conservative HmaAA, who was also joined by the AAL, a revival of the hard-right. The party was soon restored by the Progressive Bahari Alliance, a grassroots organisation in favour of left-wing politics, and ended up where it is today.

Flagship Proposals:
The Progressive Democrats have passed many bills and acts through the legislative system of Bahari, but here are some of the party’s major victories:


 * Liberalisation Bill of 2090 (Lowering penalties for blasphemy)
 * 2091 Bill of Liberal Values (Protecting consumer rights and preventing domestic surveillance)
 * Constitutional Bill of 2096 (Reinstating the Vice President’s office)

Governmental history
The Progressive Democrats of Bahari is known for never being in government; in fact, since its foundation in 2090, the party has always been a vocal opposition against the right-wing governments in power.
