The Ethosian Democratic Union is a political party in the Republic of Ethosia. The party has roots in the Social Nationalist Front of Ethosia, the Ethosian Worker's Party, and the now defunct Ethosian Progressive Party. The EDU was founded as a result of President Gabriel Sebastian furthering his agenda of pushing the nation in a direction of progress, instead of stagnation.
History
Founding
The Ethosian Democratic Union (EDU) was founded by Gabriel Sebastian and Joshua StoddardAt the time of the founding, Gabriel Sebastian was active President of the Republic of Ethosia. Meanwhile Stoddard would act as Deputy Prime Minister. The EDU was formed after the 2022 February Parliament & Presidential elections where the Social Nationalist Front of Ethosia, now the EDU, would win a solid majority of the vote which would guarantee an undeniable majority in Parliament. The EDU also won the Presidency under President Sebastian. The EDU was founded afterwards as part of an initiative made by President Sebastian to deradicalize the state and push for more realistic political focuses.
Split
In the 2022 Parliamentary election, Alexandros Irikladis and Titania Smith ran for the Ethosian Progressive Party and the Ethosian Worker's Party respectively, but neither got a seat and the EPP was dissolved due to a lack of votes, however, the two would end up filling vacant seats for the EDU. On March 9, 2022, an LGBT protection bill was proposed by Alexandros to Titania, and as initially written the bill would have read "member of Parliament for the Ethosian Democratic Union representing the opposition", however "opposition" was changed to "Marxist-Progressive Coalition". This led Alexandros to found an actual Marxist-Progressive Coalition, to which Titania has been invited. She has not replied as of March 10.
