Konfederatsiya Liberalni Duurzhavi

The Konfederatsiya Liberalni Duurzhavi (short: KLD; Anglian: Liberal Confederate Provinces) is a national party in Mursland. It is founded on the 27th of December, 1944. It is the largest party on left-wing ideologies in Mursland and has always had an influence on Mursian politics since its founding.

History
The party initially was founded with the motivation to unify the many small splinter group parties in Mursland for the national government. For a politician to join, they only had to abide to a few general notions on national level, and had completely free choice in policies on provincial level, which was unique at the time.

Something about leaders

Under the new leader Agatha Metaxas, the party saw a different course. For the 1959 elections, the KLD advertised themselves for reforming the elections. At the time, both the Province-Room and State-President were elected at the same time, but this was deemed undemocratic; political parties would have an advantage in these elections over independent candidates. Meanwhile, it forced political parties to balance between national and provincial candidates, which was deemed unfavourable for parties with smaller budgets. KLD ended up scoring 79 of 167 seats in the Province-Room, making Metaxas the Province-President, with Ambrosius Plovina becoming State-President as well. Together with the Reform Union Party and a few unaligned members of government, they changed the constitution to split the elections of the government and State-President in 1961.

During the Arkady III succession crisis in 1964, the party initially supported Mihalou II's side in the debates under command of State-President Plovina. However, it is not constitutional for a State-President to participate in debates in the Province-Room, and various members of the party were displeased by the restriction to support different options. Plovina would resign later after receiving a Motions of Distrust in parliament, and subsequently the party lifted the restrictions for its members on what option to support.

Plovina's successor, Stavros Antonis of the Katá-Vasiliko (anti-royal) party, supported a republic option. When in Januari 1965, the debate barely had changed, Antonis and Metaxas agreed to start the Provincial elections early. Although there was a slight decrease in seats (59 of 170), the KLD still managed to come out as the winner. Antonis attempted to retry the election under the rhetoric of rigged elections, but was disposed of early. During the following State-President elections, Iliyana Valeriev of the KLD was elected. The Parliament could now get a 2/3 majority to disinherit prince Mihalou, and make Arkady Miroslau the heir of the throne.

For the 1970 Province elections, the KLD lost their leading position to the new Frontov Obshtonaroden (National Front) Party, and in the 1972 State elections, Vladis Stefanidis would not be re-elected. However, KLD maintained their position as the largest left-wing party in Mursland, and form a political rival to FO which would never be much larger.

The KLD managed to score a victory in the 1978 Province elections under Leonidas Mate.

In the 2007 State elections, Boyka Zahariev was elected against expectations of many Mursian news-outlets. The 2009 Province elections would be won with a slight majority of KLD. Rafail Trifonou became Province-President. Iona Cattiou-Satinnacis was elected as State-president in the recent 2019 elections.
