Forming of an Alliance
Today, the Nationalist and Humanist Party, The Conservative and Republican Party and the Amokolian Democratic Party have decided to join forces in a strong and democratic alliance. Forming a larger party, united in diversity, we will be able to appeal to the entire population of Elwynn. All different cultural groups, from the North to the South and from the East to the West will be represented in the Democratic Alliance.
Except for the parties already named, 12 members of the Alliance of Ayreonist Associations and one member of the Social Democratic and Labour Party will join this new Democratic Alliance.
17 members of the Amokolian Democratic Party and 19 members of the Conservative and Republican Party have decided not to join the Democratic Alliance. The amount of seats of the Democratic Alliance is as follows:
AAA - 12
ADP - 35
CRP - 57
NHP - 83
SLP - 1
DA - 188 seats
Name
The name 'Democratic Alliance' represents the most important principle for our party: Democracy. Together with the Prince, whose office we deem of great national importance, and the Council of Eliria, we wish Congress to be an important national body. It is in Congress that the people of Elwynn can be represented and it is in Congress where the needs of the people and of the common folk can be defended.
Therefore we will strive for Congress to be a body of importance. An institution to balance both Prince and Council so that Elwynn will be a place with a happy, healthy and harmonious population.
We have decided not to continue the names 'Nationalist' and 'Humanist'. The reason for not declaring ourselves nationalist is that times have changed. It is true that our party was on the side of the independence some hundred years ago, but we have to face political reality. The Democratic Alliance does not have a stance on Elwynnese independence and we will always strive for a better Elwynn, within, or outside Shireroth.
We have dropped the term 'Humanist' because we will not associate our party with a particular worldview. Members of our party hold to various philosophies, religious and non-religious and we as a party accept all worldviews, as long as they do not create conflict with the core principles of our party and the Elwynnese society.
Party Leader
On the first congress of the Democratic Alliance, the members have elected Jacob Darylion as leader of the party. Darylion will combine this function with his position as representative of the DA in the Council of Eliria.
