History

The only election contested by the party was the 1920 parliamentary elections,[1] in which it was part of the Democratic Parties alliance alongside the Democrats and the Burgenland Citizens' and Farmers' Party.[2] The alliance won one seat, taken by the Civic Workers' Party.

gollark: But at most points I don't think most people went around getting to decide on exactly what their values were and building societies to best embody them.

gollark: It's probably some complex bidirectional thing.

gollark: If your ethical system is "the greatest good is maximizing the number of paperclips in existence", it's entirely sensible to try and overthrow existing society to make paperclips.

gollark: Also, guess what, "still logical to agree with" implicitly assumes some values again!

gollark: I go around somewhat disagreeing with older ethical systems, and society hasn't collapsed yet.
