Shock: CCD democrats in Opposition

VOCRYAE: The very foundations of the Confederation have been shaken following the meteoric and totally unforeseen rise of the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) to the rank of not just major party but Opposition within the Imperial Senate.

The PDP was founded by in July this year by the Ziconean east indian company, but is now under the control of the colony's motherland, Zicona.

Among other things, the PDP advocates for federalism and widespread democratic practises across the Confederation's regional government.

"We look towards a new tomorrow," said Constantine XV, leader of both the PDP and Zicona, now the Imperial Senate's Leader of the Opposition.

"It is quite clear to us that the Confederation is a powerful state checked only by its past. Through transcendence of this, she can move further in the direction of making a meaningful contribution to NationStates. The PDP is the force that can achieve this."

The PDP is now comprised of five nations: Zicona, Feuraxia, Galamancia, New Sparta Ascendancy and New caledonian reich. According to the Imperial Senate Act 2020 (V.iii), that categorises it as major party, and the largest party that currently stands against the Hazelwood Administration's Royalist Authoritarian Party (RAP).

Needless to say, shock has permeated all corners of the Confederation, leading to political and public outcry. For many years, the destruction of democracy across NationStates was a key goal of the Confederation, so mandated by Imperial Law. Various revisions were made during 2019 to permit the holding of elections and democratic practises at the Emperor of Jocospor's express will. The PDP would seem to go yet another step further.

"This is a disingenuous, ungrateful and positively despicable move by false Confederation nations!" declared Sir Andrew Hazelwood II HCS of Golden impirial utopia, President of the Imperial Senate and leader of the Royalist Authoritarian Party.

"The magnitude of this insult is unfathomable for many, but I have seen this Confederation, I have seen it at its most critical times - I lose my words, only because the deepest disgust and loathe floods my being! And so, today, I promise this House that measures will be taken by my party to ensure this PDP - Positively Despicable Party - is swiftly dealt with!!"

The Lord Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sir Hunteth Veredon HCF of Valerox, is also, according to a ministerial secretary, "filthy."

Others are less frustrated. "Times are changing," said Human Unit FS #852, Senator for Clippius maximus. "Evolution is the way, and the PDP represent evolution."

The Confederation's Mouth and Will of the Emperor, Sir Aleksandr Ivanov HCF of Depackya, released a short press statement on the matter. "It surprises me that member states feel this way," Sir Aleksandr said.

"The Confederation is built upon authoritarian governance."

Violent rioting has been reported in Supolinia and Russian states of eurasia, two Confederation member states commonly understood to be fierce supporters of the Shadow Cult. Divisions of the recently reformed Confederation Defence Force have been dispatched to keep the peace.

And, of course, many are wondering what exactly this will mean for The Shadow Cult of Jocospor itself. Both the Imperial Palace and the Central Imperial Direktorate declined to comment. High-Direktor Doris Kohn, who only recently opened the new, state-of-the-art Imperial Senate Building, has recently departed for Royal Ule, ShrewLlamaLand.

Some analysts have speculated whether the Ministry of the Senate, in its capacity as the Senate's regulatory body, will intervene to declare the PDP illegal. No evidence suggests this will be the case, but many expect some sort of "defensive" preparations will be made. Nonetheless, analysts remain convinced that the PDP will see further growth. Eight members are predicted before the close of the quarter.

For now, the PDP's power is already challenging the status quo. The Confederation Defence Act 2020 has been implemented into the Confederation's Code of Law by way of IS#15, but the vote only obtained a 57.7% majority.

IS#16, which seeks amendments to both the Government Act 2020 and the Code of Law, is currently at vote and holds an 82.35% majority.
