Unified Socialist Party (Magisteria)

The Unified Socialist Party (French: Parti Socialiste Unifié), is a progressive socialist 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 liberal 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 describes itself as a democratic left-wing party which supports ethnic, religious, cultural and sexual diversity, respect for human rights and environmental care. The party supports "development through private and social business, promoting market competition, but exercising State responsibility in the strategic activities which the Constitution states", and proposes "a model that strengthens the inner market, fair wages; a model that promotes syndical freedom and democracy, where the State doesn't intervene in the inner affairs of the trade organizations".

When it comes to the economy, the USP's economic views are mainly centrist, with the party having moderate support on economic liberalism.
