The Progressive Party (PP) is a democratic socialist party in the Federation of Boskenmark, founded in 2004 by Goran Fleischacker after the dissolution of the Workers of Vost (WoV).
Fleischacker rebranded the western labour movement to escape the stigma of the 1998 Blueprints Scandal and Jannik Vorreich’s collapsed presidency. The Progressives consolidated the Bosken Pit Miners Union (BPMU) under a modernised, anti-corruption banner while retaining militant organising traditions from the 1990 Rudarja strikes.
Electoral record
- 2005: Fleischacker polled 23.0% presidentially and held two Council cantons — enough to deny the LPP a credible defence but not block Viktor Luxenberg.
- 2019: Fleischacker topped the national Progressive ticket (14.1%); Jelena Scholz led western cantonal lists, holding two Rudarja seats on the Council ballot.
Under Luxenberg, Fleischacker endured treason trials, harassment, and effective exile in Kresimirian District X. **Rudarja remains the Federation’s last impenetrable left-wing canton — the only territory that consistently rejects BNA revanchism at the ballot box.
