History
Founding era
After the 22nd and final party meeting of the National Democratic Party (Pàrtaidh Deamocratach Nàiseanta; PDN), the largest opposition party at the time, in 1992, the National Democratic Union became one of two factions that were the result of ideological separation in the party. The centre-leaning members of the PDN formed the Union of the Democratic Front, or simply the Democratic Front, in 1992. In the first provisional meeting of the party, Gage Dewar, the provisional chairman of the executive party committee, fundamentally declared:
"Splitting off from our former allies in the National Democratic Party was a decision to move forward from the old meanings of the monarchy and the Republic. The primary task of our party, from hereon out, must be to unify our meaning of democracy and bring together the similarly-thinking citizens to achieve a true nation of democratic people. We have to move away from the intentions of restoring single rule, intentions of fulfilling the agenda of the reactionaries, intentions of pushing toward total aggression. We have to move forward in unifying our institutions upon the dawn of the new century. Constructive reform work and the aspirations of millions of our people must be represented and pursued."
