The Victorian National Party is a libertarian political party. Despite the name, the party mainly seeks the union of Victoria and Palmshire under a United Kingdom of Great Blizzard, while also defending building rights of all Palmshire residents as well as the growth of libertarian ideals and memes.

History

Rise in Palmshire

Originally started as the Iceman Nationalist Front, the party was originally the sole-legal party of the XR and continues to be within Victoria. When a chapter was launched in Palmshire politics, it surprised all by gaining one of Blizzardshire's two seats in the parliament in an otherwise contested campaign. It then formed a coalition with the Socialist Party, led by then-Prime Minister Alphaworldian. The party officially reorganized itself as the VNP during the May 2016 elections, after Courier again ran for reelection in Blizzardshire along with new party member Jonathan starting his subsequent campaign in Downtown Blizzard.

Collapse in Palmshire

During the May 2016 elections, VNP made new gains but ultimately collapsed once voting was extended. OptimunPx made a defection to the Liberal Democrats, forcing the party leader to make a coalition with the Socialists. With Jonathan making his own party for bot rights, The Courier made the surprising choice to re-affiliate with the upstart Theta Collective, leaving VNP to not have a chance for seats within the Palmshire parliament and only remain as a ruling party within the Republic of Victoria.
