The People Party

The PEOPLE Party, known colloquially as People, is a small political party in the  United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Ideologically, the party sits on the centre-left to centre-right of the political spectrum. Founded on 1st March 2021, by Helga Johnson, and Timothy McKielstrup, the party entered the House of Commons for the first time on 4th March 2021. Shortly after, on 8th April 2021, the party entered the House of Lords.

At present, the party is the largest member of the Common Good Coalition (CGC), having held membership since its foundation on 28th March 2021. Internationally, the party holds partnerships with The Social Democratic Party of Germany and A Just Russia. Furthermore, they are thought to have close ties with several other Centre-Left parties both within the United Kingdom and abroad.

Upon the party's foundation, they saw vast levels of growth, quickly growing in size and status. By 11th March 2021, the party had grown by 300%, exceeding the predictions of political observers. By 22nd April 2021, having seen a sizeable growth, the party rose to the position of the fourth-largest party by seat count. Not long after, on 2nd May 2021, they claimed the position of the third-largest party.

Since 12th May 2021, subsequent to Joshua Hansen and a number of other members departing the party, they dwindled in size. During the election on 13th May 2021, the party lost 21 seats, losing the title of the 'only party to have never lost a seat'. There has been much speculation over the events leading to this monumental election defeat, however, the precise reason still remains unknown.

On 3rd June 2021, they merged with the Social Liberal Party, however, this resulted in few members joining. At current, the party is thought to hold little legislative influence, a contrast from their once prominent place in the House of Commons. On the contrary, the number of seats they hold in the Lords has doubled in recent months, though the party has not been quick to make use of this newfound position in the Lords.

Party Slogans


In the United Kingdom, political slogans and memorable phrases are used during election campaigns to put across messages and rally support. Slogans used by political parties often centre around current issues of the day or policies they wish to address. The PEOPLE Party has used a number of slogans, some of the most notable are as follows;

Drift-Gate
Since the 12th May 2021, the PEOPLE party has found itself in hot water, over allegations made by Former Co-Chair Joshua Hansen, that the parties mission was "motivated entirely by an objective to eradicate the People First Coalition." Subsequent to Mr Hansen's departure from the party a large proportion of members slowly drifted away, eventually leaving the party indefinitely.

Furthermore, Mr Hansen stated that the parties system of unelected leadership "unduly restrains members ability to run against the Leader." Helga Johnson responded to these claims by calling Mr Hansen a "backstabber" and "not the god he makes himself."

Leadership
Undergoing Editing

Elections for Party Leader occur at least once every six weeks, with candidates running as part of a trio with nominees for Party Leader selecting their preferences of Co-Chair and Treasurer. Although arguably, the Co-Chair and Treasurer of the party are not directly elected, it is recognised that as members are selecting between leadership trios, rather than just a Party Leader, that both the Co-Chair and Treasurer, are in fact elected positions.

The Party Board is made up of the Party Leader, Co-Chair and Treasurer, and is responsible for representing the party both internally and externally. Officially, the party board may administrate all party functions. Though, customarily most functions are delegated to the Leadership Board.

The Leadership Board is the de facto primary administrative board. Customarily the board opts for decisions of high importance to be taken by a majority vote of all members of the party. The board consists of the following;


 * Party Leader
 * Co-Chair
 * Treasurer and Campaign Manager
 * General Secretary and Chief Analyst
 * Chief Whip
 * Head of Public Relations
 * Member Representative
 * Network Manager
 * Chief Recruitment Officer
 * Election Manager
