| - The Progressive Party (native name Progresīvs Partija) is a Centre-Left political party operating in Dolgavas and was founded in February 3944. The party runs a social-liberal platform with progressive social policies and strong secular stances. The Progressive Party was founded in a response to the lack of political parties in Dolgavas at the time, with the previous general election being contested only by independent politicians, mostly appointed by the king. Popularity of the monarch were at all time lows with stability in the nation also hitting all time lows, mostly due to the ever changing political and social landscape of the nation. The Progress Party was formed as a result of this as a big tent coalition of centralists and left-wing citizens. Normunds Migla formed the party along with a wide array of supporters. As soon as the party was founded, an early election was forced with some minor riots goading the monarch into allowing it. Due to no other political parties contesting in the election, the party won a unanimous government, with action to remove the monarchy and reform the nation taking place instantly. Following the establishment of numerous other political parties and the public deeming the Progressive Party of "already having done their job", the party had a collapse in support with the Dolgavas General Election 3948 being a complete disaster for the party, coming only third place with 130 seats. Despite this, the party formed a coalition government as the junior partner with the Coalition of Regions. Vladislavs Abelite replaced Normunds Migla as party leader running a more populist platform which distanced itself from the less than popular image the party was developing at the time. This proved more successful, with the party making substantial gains in the next election although this was possibly due to the dissolution of the Coalition of Regions and large gains of all three main parties. Ivo Zaravics ran for president on behalf of the party again controversially due to his third placing in the previous election, however due to increasing popularity this lead the party to field him as their candidate again, and he subsequently went on to win the election. It is thought part of the reason he did so well was his perceived good partnership with Vladislavs Abelite and also his pragmatic attitude towards a coalition and since the election he has been praised for his interaction with Liberal prime minister Mikelis Skriveris and how he has lead the country. He is also noted as the only candidate in the 3951 presidential election that wasn't the party's parliamentary leader and candidate for Prime Minister, which is thought as another reason for why he did so well. Comparisons between the Progressive Party and older political parties of the nation such as the Forward Party of Dolgaria and Choice have been made with the revolutionary stance of the Forward Party particularly being similar to the Progressive Party, as was the cause for both parties founding's. However the party identifies as "more economically left" than either of these parties, but not being as extreme as some of the defunct communist and socialist parties. The Progressive Party are noted by analysts as ushering in a new era in Dolgavan history with the founding of the republic, the arrival of more up to date policies and ending the highly unpopular reign of the monarchy. They are also noted as the likely reason democracy and other political parties in Dolgavas were able to flourish to the degree they have now been able to be. Despite historical ratings of Normunds Migla being high due to this, it was unable to save his premiership.
