Tulipanist Party

The Tulipanist Party is a party in the Zamotz Union, originally founded in Birkenport, State of Baykonia, Bardonian Empire (Today Baykonia, part of the United Kingdoms of Baykonia and Neubay and the Zamotz Union).

Tulipanist Party of Baykonia (24th April - 28th May 2021)
The Tulipanist Party was founded in Birkenport on the 24th of April 2021. The name of the party, and Tulipanism itself, comes from the tulip, that was a symbol against Bardonian rule in Birkenport. The Tulip was, according to Seved Driets de Honse, a symbol for peace and freedom. The Tulipanist Party would develop along with its ideology of Tulipanism, with both the party and the ideology being very closely connected to each other. The Tulipanist Party would end up last in the Baykonian April 2021 Elections. Despite this, the Tulipanist Party managed to pass some of its own proposals in the council. The Tulipanist Party conceded to the Baykonian Independence Party in the cancelled Baykonian May 2021 Elections, being the last party to do so.

Tulipanist Party of Neubaykonia (28th May 2021 - Present)
Following the Great Migration of Baykonians from Rathnir to Eldham and the subsequent establishment of Neubaykonia, the Tulipanist Party became a major political party in Neubaykonia following the Neubaykonian May 2021 Elections, in which the party would end up in a tie with the Socialist Party in both rounds. This resulted in Seved Driets de Honse and the_holy_dunsparce sharing the position of Prime Minister until the next election. The Tulipanist Party would win a majority in the first round of the Neubaykonian July 2021 Elections however, due to vote splitting between the Liberal Faction and the Conservative Faction of the Party, both having separate candidates, either candidate failed to win a majority needed, thus leading to a second round where the Industrialist Party made an upset by winning the second round with just one vote. Due to his appointment as Viceroy of Neubaykonia, the founder and leader of the party, Seved Driets de Honse, announced his resignation as party leader and withdrawal from the upcoming elections, handing over the leadership of the party to Doctormobe. The Tulipanist Party would lose the Neubaykonian August 2021 Elections, ending up at second place, with the Peoples' Party winning the election.

Tulipanist Party of Zamotz (August 9th 2021 - Present)
The Tulipanist Party of Zamotz was formed on August 9th 2021 by Seved Driets de Honse. The Tulipanist Party of Zamotz would later unite with the Tulipanist Party of Neubaykonia, with both parties becoming two branches of the Tulipanist Party.
