The Socialist Unity Party, abbreviated as SU, is a Democratic Socialist political party in Tarper. It is one of the two catch-all parties in Tarperti Politics. It was founded as an underground party in 1999 in the Republic of Tarper under the name "New Millennium Party". The party was made as a successor to the Republican Union of Anti Capitalists, RUAC, from the democratization period of the Republic of Tarper, although with a more specified base.
The leader of the SU, Maximilian Herzog, is the current Chancellor of Tarper. The SU is an observer of the Socialist International.

History
Immediately after being released from prison founder and former Chancellor Tony Castilla met up with his friend Brigadier General William Herzog. Both had been members of RUAC but the death of the party had resulted in many members being persecuted by the fascist government. Within days of Castilla's release, the two had created the party and they had managed to track down almost every former member of RUAC. The party remained underground and quickly got popular within the southern territory of the Republic.
In early 2000 the Governments of Plamyadia, Sanghelios, and Comico had approached the party with a plan to create an uprising against the fascist government. In November the party led the first attack on the port of the city of Citrone thus starting the Second Tarperti Civil War. The party had become the sole ruler of its own faction, the Southern Six Union, and had gained more members. With the end of the Civil War, the party relinquished power from the Southern Six Union in order to create modern Tarper. The first elections were held on the first of September of 2002, the New Millennium Party had won.
Castilla Era & Renaming (2002-2010)
With the election of Tony Castilla as the first Chancellor of Tarper came a feeling of stability and safety. This overall feeling brought political participation to an all-time high and the first opposition party. Within the year of 2002, a niche remnant of the Republican Green Party that was hiding within the NMP had split and created the modern Green Party of Tarper.With no real opposition for the Castilla's first, the party managed to pass much of its planned legislation. The 1st Parliament managed to create the foundation for modern Tarper, like nationalizing and socializing various industries and services. The Parliament managed to gain large amounts of criticism, which managed to change the tide for the 2005 election.
In early 2004 a large chunk of the party broke off and joined with another faction from the communist party. These two factions joined together and created the Labour Party. The formation of the Labour party was a huge blow to the dominance of the SU. The SU managed to lose its majority in the Bundestag but not the Bundesrat. Castilla remained Chancellor when asked about the current events he said, "I am not mad, instead, I'm happy. It goes to show that the war was not in vain and that we managed to secure a true democracy here in Tarper.". Though in the end of Castilla's second term he called the Parliament into the Imperial Palace for a constitutional convention. In the 2009 Constitutional Convention, the Parliament amended the constitution to include term limits for the Chancellor and President. Many in the opposition parties suspected that this was done in order to take away power from future opposition governments.
Tapia Era (2010-2015)
After Castilla's retirement from the Bundestag, the party was tasked with finding a new leader. In early 2010 the members of the party elected Frederick Tapia. Tapia was elected do to him being related to the Herzog-Tapia family. His connections and general competence had won over his compatriots and got inaugurated in March of 2010. The party lost the federal election and had to lead the opposition from 2010-2015. The party's new task was being the opposition and it was handled fairly well. Though not much was done, Tapia is renown for allowing the son of William Herzog, first president of Tarper, into the high ranks of the party. Though at the time, 2012, the government criticized that this was nepotism it is now regarded as one of the strategic moves that led to a resurgence in the party.
