Social Party

The Social Party of Veldenland was a major party formed in 1975 that formed the main opposition party from 1992-2007 before entering government for the first time in 2007. The Social Party rode the wave of success inspired by British Blairite third way politics they fought a campaign on social and political reform, accepting the neo liberal consensus that had existed since the 80s in Veldenland. The Social Party leader Oliver Burke led for just three years before he was forced to resign following the 2008 recession and the failure of the government to adequately respond to the crisis. The resignation of Oliver Pearson, the close ally of the Prime Minister and in charge of the treasury's response led to a lack of any real competent economic politicians to take on the role. Inevitably he was forced to call an

election as MPs became independents.

Described as a leader who came too late, Oliver Burke isn't a hated figure and the Social Party whilst seen as inadequate and incapable are often seen as being cast simply in the wrong time of history, had they come a decade earlier when the economy was strong they might've made it.
