The Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front (RDPF)[c](Irish: Tírghráthóir Éadan Roscaoin (TER)), is a political and mass popular front in the Roscami Federation. The Front is the only polity permitted through Article 10 of the Supreme Constitution of Roscamistan to field candidates for presidential, legislative and gubernatorial elections in Roscamistan [1].
The idea for the Front was created after Matthew T. was inspired by the National Front of East Germany in an effort to eliminate left-wing parties and politics from Roscamistan.
History
First Front
The idea of the RDPF was first developed sometime in January 2023, after Matthew T. planned against the political left. Soon, Thomas Jacobs and other members of the right-alliance Patriot Coalition joined in on the scheme, with the name Roscami Patriot Front picked, Jacobs was selected as its nominal leader. Multiple parties including the Republican Bloc and Sheetfuckery joined, allowing them a place in the plan for Roscamistan.
January referendum and coup
On the 14th of January, the front declared its establishment. The day later, the January constitutional referendum was held. The referendum was held on the proposed liberal constitution, which would have reduced the power of the executive drastically and have a near sovereign legislature. This was opposed by the Catholic right for its liberalism and secularism.
The referendum results would be released early in the morning on the 16th. This would however, result in the Front initiating the 2023 Roscami coup d’etat. Matthew T. announced the dissolution of the National Assembly, removal of the opposition and dissolution of all parties in the state except the ones in the Front. The Front also took the new name of the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front, now announcing that it was in control. However, backlash from the leftwing opposition resulted in the failure of the 16th January coup. Both the Patriot Coalition and the Front dissolved. Jacobs agreed that the idea of the RDPF was not yet ready for the state.
On the 17th of January, Ali Farrokhzad, then acting President, put in charge by Jacobs, conspiring with the latter to once again remove the liberal constitutional and left-wing opposition, then already having assumed government for a short time. By doing this, the nation no longer had a strong opposition.
Second front
Initially the idea of the RDPF was rejected by President Jacobs, who didn't want a repeat of the events of January 2023. Eventually convinced by his allies, Jacobs included the reintroduction of the front as the the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front through the then-draft Supreme Constitution (which was a radical overhaul of the proposed new constitution by the left-wing). After it came into force, the RDPF was reborn, with Jacobs as Chairman of the Executive Committee, with the United Front as the lead party.
At the start non-RDPF political parties remained, however with the knowledge they had to join the RDPF or face dissolution. On the 23rd of April 2023, all non-RDPF parties were forcibly dissolved. In the coming months, other parties such as the Serious Action Party, the Libertarian Party and others were added to the RDPF. The United Front also renamed itself the National Catholic League. In October, the National Roscami Workers League was made the Labour wing of the RDPF.
On the 7th of February 2024, the leader of the Nyeusi Socialist Republic Jacob Gath and his allies established the extralegal Roscami Socialist Party, as an alternative to the current regime. President Thomas Jacobs ordered that the party could not join the Front and therefore, was dissolved. On the 10th, the Progressive Peoples Party was added to the ranks of the RDPF.
Structure and role
The RDPF functions as the guiding political organisation of the Roscami Federation. All political parties are legally required to join the Front, failure to do so will result in deregistration. Cultural groups may also ask to join the Front. Its labour wing, the National Roscami Workers League, functions as the official body for workers in the federation.
Each party leader (or a designated representative) serves on the Executive Committee of the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front. The party leaders elect a Chairman every six months to chair the Committee [2]. The Chairman is simultaneously President of Roscamistan. In the Constitution it is stated that no party may be above another party. In reality, the National Catholic League has been the leading party since the RDPF’s foundation.
National Roscami Workers League
The National Roscami Workers League or simply the League is the sole trade union of the Federation, and is a direct affiliate of the RDPF. The League is open to all RDPF members and workers, representing them in all matters related to them.
Though the League was founded in April 2023, it only became the trade union of the RDPF in October that year, through the National Roscami Workers League Act 2023.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is the governing body of the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front, through it decisions of the RDPF are taken. Each party leader or a designated representative hold a seat on the Committee. Every 6 months the committee comes together to elect a presiding officer titled Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front.
The committee has responsibility over admitting members to the Front, and also in ensuring the integrity and purpose of the Front.
Chairman
The Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front (or Chairman of the RDPF) is leader of the RDPF. The Chairman is elected every six months by members of the Executive Committee to preside over the committee.
Thomas Jacobs has been Chairman since the position’s creation on the 6th of March 2023.
