Progressive Libertarians

The Progressive Libertarians (PL) was a big tent left-libertarian political party in Doggerland that was founded on June 14, 2021, by Seth Woods, who also acted as the first party leader. The Progressive Libertarians are colloquially referred to as "ProgLibs." The party's original tagline was "Open Doggerland!" which called for a more transparent and democratic government in Doggerland. "For Liberty! For Progress!" has been used as an alternate tagline for the modern Progressive Libertarians, harkening back to the French Revolution. The symbol of the Progressive Libertarians is the Bull Moose, a reference to Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Party.

The Progressive Libertarians acted as the third and final member of the Freedom Alliance, alongside the Libertarian Party and the Reform Party. The Progressive Libertarians joined the alliance to promote Libertarian Unity.

Key policies of the Progressive Libertarians included a constitutional reform to guarantee democracy and the rule of law; a progressist country where no one is left behind and where everyone can be as free as possible to be their true selves; a just economy that guarantees a free market and economic justice through the promotion of cooperatives; and a global world in which Doggerland participates with the EU, while not forgetting local politics.

The party's leader, Seth Woods, has stated that he will focus on voluntary alternatives to leftist policies that promote liberty, progress, and equality instead of enforcing it by way of government. He has endorsed the Green Exchange Program and Cooperative Promotion Act, two bills submitted to the National Assembly by Theodore Wheatley before he passed away.

On June 14, 2021, Homem became the first official Progressive Libertarian to act as a member of the National Assembly. He left the Rainbow Party, citing that the party's leadership had grown inactive and were uninterested in his LGBTQ+ bill proposals. After joining the Progressive Libertarians, Seth Woods would announce Homem as the official LGBTQ+ Chairman of the Progressive Libertarians.

On June 15, 2021, following the creation of Free and Equal, leader Seth Woods and LGBTQ+ Chairman Homem would defect, leaving this party in the hands of Rickroll999 and Benjamin LeDuc. The Party would soon approach Pride Party member Pax to draft him to serve as leader of the Progressive Libertarians, but soon after taking the reigns, he would expel Benjamin LeDuc from the party due to his controversially.

Shortly after becoming leader of the PLs, Pax would begin running for President, though halfway into his campaign he would mysteriously disappear(discord banned his accounts). This would lead to heavy inactivity for the following days as Rickroll999 would remain inactive. On June 20th, LWP deputy Avery! Wagers would announce she would become interim leader of the party, as Pax had given her PL dual membership several days before. Immediately after becoming Interim leader, Avery would announce the party would be absorbed into the Labor Workers' Party, though many members would join Free and Equal and Volt Doggerland.

On August 14, 2021, the Progressive Libertarians would officially return to the national stage as an integral part of 3P, also known as "Populists, Progressives, Pirates." The Progressive Libertarians continue to run candidates independent of 3P in provincial and local elections, with their most recent victory being in the August 2021 Abester Mayoral race, where Bartholomew Wheatley, father of Theodore Wheatley, won with support of the Brun-South Progressive Libertarians and party founder, Seth Woods.
