The dramatic rise of Demarcian conservatism

The outcome of the August 2021 presidential election is at the moment unclear, but one thing is: Demarcian conservatism is in vogue and rising dramatically fast.

When the former President Vincent_Wolff exited the Social Democratic Party, a party she seemingly never had a staunch loyalty to, in May 2021, few thought that she would actually continue to make waves. Most, especially the SDP, expected her to be relegated to mere history and her conservative campaign to be a failure given the popularity of the SDP's programs.

However, just like that, on 7 August 2021, Vincent_Wolff's reformed DNP stroke terror into the hearts of the Social Democrats.

With a tie in the presidential election ballot, the Social Democratic Party now faces the prospect of losing power to an ideologically completely different party for the first time since they won power in February 2020. For the first time, their policies, their achievements, their successes - they're all in grave danger, at the risk of being reversed. All the hard work of the past year and a half might go to waste.

This is what the Social Democratic Party gravely fears now. And, indeed, they should be very, very afraid.

The Demarcian National Party has mostly stood behind the policies the SDP promoted over the last year and a half. At no point did they seriously challenge the entirety of SDP's vision - rather, under the GeorgeHarris and MikeBodwin leaderships, for instance, they asserted that the SDP is essentially doing good but could be much better. The policy platforms of the two parties greatly overlapped and both parties were largely aligned, with the DNP voting for nearly all SDP proposals.

However, Vincent_Wolff's rise in the Demarcian National Party marked a complete break with that party's policy of "acquiescence" to the reforms proposed by the Social Democrats, and Vincent_Wolff has remodeled the Demarcian National Party in a much more conservative party, with Britain's Margaret Thatcher seemingly being the greatest inspiration.

It remains to be seen what the outcome of the election will be. But if the outcome is in Vincent_Wolff's favour, this has huge potential to be a realigning election and to finally end the SDP's unfettered dominance of the past year and a half. If GeorgeChambers wins, however, his control over the country and the SDP's control have still been shaken.

Whatever the outcome of the election, it has been proven that a party can adopt a conservative ideology and not face an electoral disaster; indeed, it can even face electoral triumph and astonishing success compared to where they were before.
