Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox political party
The Christian-Social People's Party (Шаблон:Lang-de), often shortened to People's Party (Шаблон:Lang-de, VP), was a social liberal political party in Liechtenstein.[1] Founded in 1918, the Christian-Social People's Party and the Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP) were the first political parties in Liechtenstein.[2]
History
Formation and putsch
Шаблон:Multiple image The party's roots originate behind the ideals of lawyer and politician Wilhelm Beck when he formed an opposition group around himself in 1914 with its newspaper Oberrheinische Nachrichten against the government of Leopold Freiherr von Imhof.[3][4] The party itself was established in February 1918 as an off-shoot of the trade union movement.[5]
The party conducted a de facto coup d'état against Imhof's government in November 1918, which forced his government to resign and replaced with a provisional executive committee led by VP member Martin Ritter, the first Liechtensteiner native head of government.[6][7][8]
Political history and merging
It first formed the country's first and only government following the 1922 elections under Gustav Schädler with Beck as President of the Landtag of Liechtenstein and remained in power until losing the 1928 elections.[7][9] The party lost significant credibility when his government was the subject of an embezzlement scandal involving the National Bank of Liechtenstein in 1928. Johann II forced his government to resign in June 1928 as a result, and early elections were called.[10]
In 1936, it merged with Liechtenstein Homeland Service to form the Patriotic Union (VU).[11]

Ideology
The VP advocated for an expansion of democracy and progressive social policies, and was also supportive of the country's constitutional monarchy.[5] Due to its pro-democratic social liberal leanings and party colors, party members were often referred to disparagingly as "Reds".[1]
