History
The party founder, thegoldenportal is a new resident inside the Harlon server. On 15th March 2021, he accidentally discovered an election was going to happen on 2nd April. At the same moment, he noticed that someone mentioned that if HCP won the third time, that person would quit the server. To bring change to the server, he and his friend - GreenPower312 started to plan for the party, they formed the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Harlonians(DAB) on 22nd March and allowed citizens to join after one day.
Development
After the party was formed, there were several problems that the newborn party had to face. The most important problem is to gain support from the public. Compare HCP, LCP and BP, these parties existed for a long time and they had gained majority support from the public; besides, new parties such as CMP and HGP are starting to grow inside Harlon, they had started their campaign very early that buys them time, these are the difficulties that DAB had to face.
Another problem DAB had to face is a lack of funding. Since the party formed pretty late, the number of supporters is little compared to other parties. With the help from the thegoldenportal and GreenPower312, the party managed to keep its financial stability until today.
