While the radicalism of the <b style="color:#ff0000">SSBP</b> did not appeal to every voter, opposition against the '''Party''' grew when '''Chauka''' decided to open her own political party. Christened the '''Democratic Party of SwagBalls''' (<b style="color:#660080">DPoS</b>), the name was soon changed to the '''SwagBalls Democratic Party''' (<b style="color:#660080">SDP</b>) with the release of its manifesto<ref>'''Chauka''' (March 12, 2024): [https://discord.com/channels/938728183203758080/1217194323104366693/1217197455582695495 the basic beliefs of the SDP are ones of freedom of expression while retaining an enjoyable experience] ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#😺-sdp-↓↓↓'''.</ref>, calling for the democratization of server rule, the opening of a political channel, and loosening of the word filter to allow for free '''Homestuck''' expression, as the party strictly condemned discrimination. | |||
The <b style="color:#660080">SDP</b> was soon joined by '''The Best Party, Which I Fully Support''' (<b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b>), led by '''Shitmaster LarKcuavian OKctavio De Willis Gimblejrad Gungdimyr Flemtoto The 603st''', claiming to be the one true prophet of '''girard''', who believed that the true problem that had befallen '''SwagCord''' was amount of '''swag giving''' that was happening lately, as clearly ironic speech was stifled by it being taken seriously. In a list of demands, <b style="color:#00CC99">TBPWIFS</b> called for a crackdown on seriousposting and loosening of the anti-harassment rules, believing them to be overbroad, while wishing to place tighter restrictions on '''Homestuckers'''. | |||
The '''Party''', realizing that there was no stopping the rising discontent and the political polarization against it, made the decision to dissolve the '''People's Parliament''', announcing the first democratic elections in '''SwagBalls''' history.<ref> '''Walter''' (March 13, 2024): "The Party has officially dissolved the People's Parliament and has announced that elections will be held on Sunday, March 17. Televised debates between the highest-polling candidates will occur on March 14 and March 16. Long live SwagCord! Long live the Party! Long live Big Brother!" ''69SwagBalls420 Cord'' '''#❗-announcements'''. </ref> Set to be held on March 17, they would be preceded by two debates between the candidates. | |||
