The Progressive Socialist Party is a political party in Entropan that has been described as an alliance of democratic socialists and the Entropanian co-operative movement. The Progressive Socialist Party have been described as sitting on the left of the political spectrum, with certain factions such as the Red Socialists being described as far-left. Since its formation in 1972, the Progressive Socialists have been in the governing party or opposition in the Entropanian Parliament, or the National Council, seven times, usually in coalition with the Social Liberal Party, the Green Party, or the Social Democratic Party. The Progressive Socialist Party have had one Foreign Delegate, that being Håkon Martinsen, who ascended after the 2021 general election. It is currently the governing party of Entropan.
The Progressive Socialist Party has a unique party structure, with the party having a governing body consistent of all the fee-paying members of the party, which votes on party policy and other such party-wide decisions, with all members being able to submit policy either online or at the quarterly held Progressive Socialist Conferences.
The Progressive Socialist Party was founded in 1972, as an outgrowth of the budding co-operative movement in Entropan, and to unify the Progressive Party, the Socialist Party, and the Co-operative Party, although the Co-operative Party lived on, just being linked to the Progressive Socialists electorally. Its first time in Government was in 1980, where, despite the party only holding 26 of the 600 seats in Parliament, they were made a crucial part of the second Holsen Ministry, with several members getting Cabinet positions. After Holsen's resignation in 1992 and the ascension of the 'New Left' in the Social Democratic Party, the Progressive Socialist Party detached from the Social Democrats and lived on as part of the Second Opposition with the Green Party, until the 2013 ascension of Agapeta Larsen to Leadership of the Social Democratic Party, where the Progressive Socialists joined the 2016 Coalition government. The rise of 'participatory socialist' thought in the Progressive Socialist Party, along with a large co-operative movement and the rise of linked organisations such as the Participatory Movement, saw the Progressive Socialists ascend to become the Governing party in 2020, for the first time.
