The '''Principles''', officially known as the '''Principles of Democracy Party''' and colloquially known as the '''Podites''', is one of the three main political parties in [[Great Morstaybishlia]], along with the [[Progress Party (MBE)|Progress Party]] and the [[Civic Party (MBE)|Civic Party]]. The party sits on the [[Wikipedia:Right-wing politics|right-wing]] or [[Wikipedia:Centre-right politics|centre-right]] of the political spectrum. The Principles have either formed Government or been in Lead Opposition since 1991, and previously from the formation of Parliament in 1917 to 1935 and then again under [[Ian Crowcasa]] as government from 1964 until 1975. They are the current Lead Opposition, having most recently been in government under [[Walter Johannes]] from 2005 until 2019.
The Principles began as a political faction in the late 18th century, following the publishing of a manifesto by Crago Terlinsfeld called ''The Principles of Democracy
The Principles were officially established as a political party in 1914, although they were not a legal establishment until 1917. They played a central role in the buildup to the [[Great Morstaybishlia#Morstopackia and the Great War (1897-1917)|Morstaybishlian Revolution]], where following the death of [[Thadeus I|King Thadeus I]] after fourteen years of the [[Great War]], its leader [[Orson Klarass]] and many other notables forced sixteen year old [[Thadeus II|King Thadeus II]] to sign the Great Charter of the Liberties or face the end of the monarchy altogether. This Charter proclaimed a constitutional monarchy and abolished the feudal system of Dukedoms that had existed for over a millennia. Following this, a provisional government led by Klarass began an election period, and he later formed the first government. Among the first laws the Principles passed through government was the abolition of slavery, a reflection of public perception of it by the turn of the 20th century.
