Democratic Socialist Party (UK)

Page Status Update Disclaimer: Flagged For Update Regards, Respublica Miraheze Team

Disillusioned with the party leadership, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire MP and former Foreign Secretary Michael Foot, broke away with the Labour and launch a new left-wing political force - Democratic Socialist Party. The party was founded on 1/04/2020.

Soon after, Foot's friend and fellow MP for Durham, Michael Fallon, joined the party. The two MPs stood in the 49th GE and retained their seats. After the elections, the party became part of a broad left-wing coalition with Labour, SNP and SDP that took power and elected the Mcbobbins ministry. Michael Foot returned to Number 10 as Home secretary.

The party managed to double its seats in the 50th GE and gain a second-best result, just two seats behind Labour. Michael Foot became Chancellor in the Second Mcbobbins ministry and Michael Fallon headed the Home office.

Under the leadership of Mary Wilson, the party was propelled to electoral success, reaching 42 seats in the 10/09/20 General Election. The party soon went into government, with the bill putting Wilson into Number 10 possessing a 39-vote lead. Since then, the DSP has became the largest party in the United Kingdom and was briefly the largest Socialist party in the world under the leadership of Rebecca Long-Bailey and Comrade Koupetorska. The DSP and it's left-wing coalition the People First Coalition has been the dominant force in the UK, retaining government for an ongoing 5 month stretch. During the leadership of Remco de Jong, the DSP broke the UK seat record with 79 seats on 19 February 2021.

However, during the Conservative wave of August 2021, the Democratic Socialist Party as well as the incumbent Peoples First Coalition lost a major amount of seats and the DSP fell to 3rd for the first time since October 2020. As of rewriting this article (the 8th of August 2021) the PFC are a minority government, the 2nd time consecutively, August 15th is a day in the minds of many across the United Kingdom.
