Justice Party

The Justice Party is a defunct political party of Doggerland. It was a centre-left to left-wing progressive political party. According to polling data released on 31 January, 2021, the Justice Party was the smallest party, with 1.1% of people affiliating with the party.

Founding
The Justice Party was founded by Andreas Glassberg, a German-Jewish refugee, in 1937. Glassberg founded the Justice Party to fight for the rights of refugees of Nazi Germany.

World War II (1939-1945)
Following the outbreak of World War II, the Justice Party was banned by King Caribou X in 1939. This was in an attempt to avoid angering Nazi Germany. However, Glassberg and other party leaders remained vocal critics of the Nazis. This led to the extrajudicial arrests of Glassberg, Zaria Henniger, and Johanna Ziegler on 15 May, 1940, who were all deported to Germany. The few remaining members of the party went into hiding until Doggerland joined the Allies in the summer of 1942.

Post-War Rebranding (1945-1957)
Following the end of World War II, the Justice Party rebranded itself. The new Justice Party Leader, Johann Bramer, changed the party from, "being the party of Jewish refugees to being the party of all minorites." This led to increased support for the party, but not enough to win any seats in the 1947 election. The 1950 election saw the party gaining one seat in the National Assembly.

The Lipstick Letter Scandal caused Johann Bramer to be ousted from the party in 1952. Abrinn MocDovil became leader of the Justice Party, winning 2 seats in the 1953 and 1957 elections. MocDovil was the first non-German and non-Jewish leader of the Justice Party.

The Accursed Years and the Miracle Years (1957-1994)
Following the retirement of MocDovil, the Justice Party struggled to maintain any relevancy. The party leadership changed to Michael Miracle, who was incredibly unpopular within the party and outside it. The Justice Party lost both its seats in the 1962 election, and maintained a zero-seat record throughout Miracle's tenure in the 1964, 1968, and 1971 elections. These years are collectively known as "The Accursed Years" by Justice Party members.

The assassination of Michael Miracle on 14 August, 1972, called "The Day of Justice," led to Lieutenant Aisien MocClellon becoming the party head for the next two decades. The following period, known as "The Miracle Years," saw a resurgence of the party, consistently winning between 7-12 seats between the 1974 and 1994 elections. While this was relatively low compared to other parties, but it was some of the best electoral performances the Justice Party ever saw nationally.

The DeVries Family Leadership (1996-2020)
The death of MocClellon in 1996 caused chaos within the party, as no successor had been chosen. Eva DeVries rose to prominence within the party quickly. She replaced the former deputy leader, Brian Ochannar, with her son, Floris DeVries. Eva replaced the much of the party leadership with as many family members, including her other children, Hugo DeVries, Niels DeVries, and Mila DeVries.

Following her death on 27 March, 2007, Floris DeVries became Justice Party leader and lead a decline on Justice Party membership. On the 2008 election, the Justice Party gained only one seat - its lowest since the Accursed Years. Following the Jolly Olives Scandal, DeVries was forced to step down in 2011, and his sister, Mila DeVries, took control of the party. Mila DeVries moved the party left-wards, and lead the party to its most popular since the Miracle Years. She guided the party further left than the Labor-Worker’s Party, and to its highest popularity since the Miracle Years. Earning 5 seats in 2012, 3 seats in 2016, and 8 seats in 2020, the Justice Party was seeing a rise in membership and polling.

Following the Crisis (2021)
Following the Doggerland political crisis of January 2021, Mila DeVries was forced out and God took over, marking the end of the DeVreis family's grip over the party. The Justice Party won 6 seats in the January 2021 Doggerland legislative elections.
