History

  Czech Republic

ANO 2011 (YES 2011 in Czech) is a Czech populist political party founded in 2011 by Andrej Babiš, owner of the Agrofert company. The goals of the party were to fight corruption and other discontents in political life. In general, the party does not adhere to any specific ideology but uses public dissatisfaction with the series of political scandals in the Czech Republic.

The party advocates, in particular, for the abolition of parliamentary immunity, reduction of taxes for entrepreneurs, reduction of electricity tariffs, and assistance in the employment of people of pre-retirement age and the disabled. The party also seeks to clean the police, prosecutors and state oversight bodies of political figures and intends to double the funding for science.

  India

The   Indian National Congress is a big-tent party that many consider responsible for the foundation of modern India. It was first founded in 1885 to peacefully obtain independence from the British Empire. After India obtained independence in 1947, INC held power uninterrupted until 1977. Compared to most big tent liberal parties, INC is more left-leaning, with it including democratic socialists, social authoritarians (historically), social liberals and social democrats, with its' rightmost members being close to Third Way. While INC is a broad party, several values remained consistent throughout its history to the modern day, such as civic nationalism, separation of church and state, a welfarist economy and an independent foreign policy, with Nehru-era India being one of the founders of the non-aligned movement.

Logo of Democratic Party (old)

Big Tent Liberalism in the United States is found in the modern   Democratic Party.

The early version of the Democratic party spun off from the   Democratic-Republican Party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, which split over the choice of who would succeed president   James Monroe. The Democratic Party was founded by   Andrew Jackson and   Martin Van Buren, both of whom supported Jeffersonian principles. Its original rival, the American System, went bust over the issue of slavery in the 1850s. In 1854, anti-slavery Democrats left the party and joined with some anti-slavery   Whigs to form their fiercest rival,   the Republicans.

Up to this point, Democrats supported state sovereignty and slavery, while opposing banks. Following the Civil War, that all changed when Franklin D. Roosevelt, elected into the presidency in 1932, came forth with a wealth of government programs called the New Deal. New Deal liberalism meant the regulation of business and the promotion of labour unions, as well as federal spending to aid the unemployed, help distressed farmers and undertake large-scale public works projects. The opponents to the new deal started calling themselves "  Conservatives".

Until the 1980s, the Democrats were divided between two factions:   liberals in the North, and   conservatives in the South. After Roosevelt's death, these already quite opposing groups grew even more polarized. This eventually led to most conservatives jumping ship to the   Republican Party, thanks in part to the Southern strategy, a republican electoral strategy to increase their white voter base by promoting conservative ideas such as hawkish defence policy and adherence to traditional values.

In modern times, the Democratic Party still remains with   Social Liberalism, with some more   leftist factions   within it. Their most recent victory was the election of   Joe Biden, former Vice President of the United States in 2020.

Personality

Stylistic Notes

Big Tent Liberalism always has a tent following him around wherever he goes. The tent does not need support to stand up and can be as big as Big Tent Liberalism wants it to be. Inside the tent are many amenities for the ideologies within it, like food and bathrooms.

Frenemies

  •   Right-Liberalism - I must say,       some of you alarm me and hold pretty strange opinions, but aside from that we are fine.
  •   Left-Liberalism - I can work well with       some of your proponents, but       others make me doubt a bit.
  •   Right-Libertarianism &   Left-Libertarianism - Liberals, not libertarians! But as much as I try to break away from you, we are intrinsically linked and I guess some       members of your family are decent.
  •   Liberal Conservatism - A little conservative, can be a viable strategy (you are pushing it though).
  •   Conservative Liberalism - Like above but more likely to hang out with   hijackers.
  •   National Liberalism - I don't know you seem to be a bit bigoted, but DPP and Ciudadanos are pretty cool.
  •   Reactionary Liberalism - The black sheep of the family, bigoted in practically every sense. I guess if times are extreme, I could turn to you as a last resource, but please drop that schizophrenic reactionary bullshit and become a real liberal.
  •   American Model - I am the key to your success. You need me, stop listening to   them.
  •   Jeffersonian Democracy &   Jacksonian Democracy - Thanks for starting this, but times change! And you two had some... questionable opinions, to say the least.
  •   Girondism - I have my doubts, some of my peers like you, others don't. I prefer   him honestly.
  •   Pinochetism - I accept the economic part, but this is terrifying. How are you considered a liberal in any sense?
  •   State Liberalism - You really scare me...
  •   Neoconservatism - In the West, I am usually for defending The Free World, but   not everybody   in my club is a fan of interventionism, and INC wants straight-up neutrality, also also, stop framing PO as an Russian asset party, PIS.
  •   Left-Wing Populism - We have a lot of you among us but when I look at you, I am a bit skeptical.
  •   Ricardian Socialism - You're on thin ice, buddy, but   some of you are tolerable.
  •   Dead Centrism - I like moderatism, but you take it too far, which defeats the point of moderatism. Also, we should incorporate ideas from both sides, not just go directly between all of them.
  •   Phillipsism - I like you, but you might just be hindering us…
  •   Ismism -   Neoliberalism, please call   Pinochet, I think we're going to have to throw this one out.
