'''National Democracy''' also called '''Endecja''' (clipping of Narodowa Demokracja) is a Polish democratic nationalist political movement.

===Partitions===

The first national democratic movement arose in the early twentieth century, under [[File:RomanDmowski.png]] Roman Dmowski. It opposed the [[File:Leftnat.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|Polish Socialist Party]], in that instead of advocating for a revolution against the partitioning powers, it preferred a gradual change and smooth transition into independence. Therefore, it was against the 1905 Revolution, and even sided with the Imperial Forces in the uprising. With the beginning of WW1, the Endencja supported Russia in return for promised autonomy, with Dmowski even being part of the Duma.

In the interwar period, supporter of national democracy, [[w:Eligiusz_Niewiadomski|Eligiusz Niewiadomski]] assassinated the first President of Poland, [[File:Freemason_.png]] [[w:Gabriel_Narutowicz|Gabriel Narutowicz]]. In 1926, following the elections, the Endencja entered a coalition with the Polish People's Party. However, the elections turned out to be a disaster, as [[File:Pilsudski.png]] Jozef Pilsudski, former leader of the Polish Socialist Party declared the election null and void, and staged a [[w:May_Coup_(Poland)|military coup]]. He went on to establish an autocracy, under a non-partisan bloc known as [[File:Sanacja.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Sanation]]. The National Party became the main opposition against the military junta. Due to this, many of its leaders were arrested. In 1938, following the death of the original founder [[File:RomanDmowski.png]] Roman Dmowski, the party underwent a, albeit informal and the party retained its unity, split. One faction, the more radical one and headed by Jedrzej Giertych, and a more moderate one, with no leader. However, the whole party opposed the Annexation of Zaolsie and proposed military assistance to Czechoslovakia.

Following the invasion of Poland and the collapse of the Second Polish Republic, the National Party created its own resistance movement, the National Armed Forces, which was created in cooperation with the [[File:ABC.png]] [[National Radicalism|National-Radical Camp "ABC"]]. Eventually, the Endencja left the National Armed Forces and merged with the [[File:PolishPartisans.png]] [[Anti-Fascism|Home Army]]. Following the war, the Party relocated to London. It was opposed to Communism and recognised the Polish Republic government-in-exile.

Following the collapse of the Polish People's Republic, the National Party relocated back to Poland properly. However, its popularity dropped, and although it still exists, it barely has over 0.5% support. The main National Democratic Party in Poland was the League of Polish families, under Roman Giertych, the grandson of Jedrzej. It was strongly eurosceptic and very nationalist. However, Giertych distanced himself from Endencja's heritage, and left politics in 2007, while the League eventually softened and became a [[File:Nalib.png]] [[National Liberalism|National Liberal]] and pro-european party. The last remaining party (there are still active organisations, although they are usually Far-right, most notably the All-Polish Youth), is the National Movement, led by Krzysztof Bosak. It is part of the Confederation coalition.

*[[File:Hcon.png]] [[LGBT Conservatism]] [[File:Homocon.png]] - You are incompatible with society. It is impossible for you to be conservative. <s>And no, Bosak doesn't have anything to hide!</s>
