Democratic-Republican Party

The Democratic-Republican Party (DRP) is a broadly liberal and market socialist political party in the United Republics. It was formed in 1933 following the MacArthur Putsch by the anti-Putsch remanants of the Democratic and Republican parties, the two traditional dominant capitalist-aligned parties of the Second Republic before the rise of the Workers' Party. Conservative factions of the Democratic Party that unlike the DRP, refused to accept the Red May Revolution and the establishment of the United Republics, would form the anti-communist True Democrats.

The DRP is considered to be on the right-wing of the political spectrum in the TCI and United Republics as a result of its market-oriented policies, but is considered left-wing from an international perspective due to its support of collective ownership of the means of production. Traditionally, its support base has come from former members of the middle class, or the "progressive bourgeoisie", or from the Western republics.

Ideology and platform
The DRP largely defines the more politically- wing of American politics, endorsing positions within an individualist lens. This is largely reflected in their economic and political platform, such as the continuation of the enterprise-based market system within the socialist economy and a drive against further bureaucratization and centralization of the national government. Today, the Democratic-Republicans endorse themselves as a "party of common-sense",; defending the prevailing council-democratic system and fighting government corruption.

While in most elections has ran independently, the DRP has at times supported and endorsed other parties which align to their political interests, mostly local affiliations of national-level parties.
