Unified Socialist Party (Magisteria)

The Unified Socialist Party (French: Parti Socialiste Unifié) is a left-wing big tent political party in Magisteria. Prior to the unification, the party was founded in 2021 under the name Party of Democratic Egalitarians. It was formed after PDE, NPM, and DR agreed for a unification. It is currently the ruling party of Magisteria, with 257 seats on the unicameral National Parliament.

History
The party was founded as the Party of Democratic Egalitarians on 7 September 2021, after incumbent president Phil Vibert left the social democratic Magisterian Democratic Party, alongside vice presidents Catherine Fournier-Dixon, Athelstan Matthews, and other MDP members.

On 1 January 2022, the leaders of the PDE, NPM, and DR agreed for a unification for the upcoming 2023 parliamentary elections which will take place on November 2023. On 14 March 2022, the three parties officially unified to form the Unified Socialist Party.

Ideology
The USP is regarded as a big tent and is economically divided into three major wings: The Vibertist wing, the Liberal wing, and the Conservative wing. The left-wing progressive Vibertist wing is the most powerful out of all the three wings, and is currently led by Phil Vibert.
