Etymology
History
Origins
The White Party first appeared in the early 20th century during the Period of internal strife as a centrist choice for voters. At the fist party conference in Granas, founder Nai Säim told attendees that "the [White] Party will represent neutrality, fiscal responsibility, and focus on [Liosol's] future."
Great Ekuosian War
During the height of tensions in Soltenna, the White Party, which ran on a platform of keeping Liosol out of the war, secured border regions in the 1945 election. However, they failed to gain a majority in the Kajeth when they formed an unlikely coalition with left-leaning parties that also did not want to join the Great Ekuosian War. The White Party quickly fell into obscurity, and was overrun by Kuulists in the following election, losing many of the areas they had won in previous years. Party leader Sela Toran, although in opposition to Daol's administration, promised to work with it for the duration of the war. This arrangement worked until Daol banned certain parties with "seditionist elements" from participating in future elections. As a result, the party abstained from the Kajeth until that decision was overturned. Unfortunately, voters reportedly viewed this move as the party failing to fulfill its own duties, causing them to lose multiple seats and fade into obscurity in the 1955 general election.
Post war elections
Operation Badol
Revelations about Operational Badol in 2018 led to the party's resurgence and calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Goe. Pary leader name nameson said that "Liosol needs to take a break from meddling international and focus on problems at home." The election of Prime Minister Pra Densok as the country's first left-leaning candidate in decades is in part thanks to TV spots and canvassing by the White Party.
