Order of Nation is a political party in the Czech Republic. It was founded on 3 May 2012 by Karolína Peake after she and seven other MPs broke away from Public Affairs. Previous name of the party was LIDEM.
The party supports greater individual freedom in both economic and social spheres.
In September 2012, the party applied for membership of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party (ELDR) and was accepted on 9 November 2012.
In December 2012, the Czech Prime Minister Petr Nečas sacked Karolína Peake as Defence Minister after only eight days in the post. He stated that he had lost confidence in her, after she had begun her ministerial appointment by sacking one of the most senior officials in the Defence Ministry. This situation created a coalition crisis, where Peake announced that all LIDEM ministers consequently would withdraw on 10 January 2013, unless a solution could be found. On 8 January, LIDEM's republican council guaranteed no ministers would withdraw and the party would still support the government, if they could renegotiate a new improved coalition agreement with TOP 09 and ODS.
7 August 2013, leader of LIDEM, Karolína Peake, left the Chamber of Deputies building during a ballot about confidence for Jiří Rusnok government. The remainder of the LIDEM deputies remained in building, and voted against Jiří Rusnok government. The next day, 8 August 2013, Karolína Peake announced her resignation as LIDEM leader.
LIDEM was renamed to VIZE2014 in March 2014. The party changed its namen once again in June 2015 to Order of Nation.
As per May 2012, the LIDEM parliamentary group included eight members of the 200-member Chamber of Deputies. Among these eight members, Martin Vacek and Radim Vysloužil however never were members of the LIDEM party itself, but just collaborated with them as independents, to form a stronger coalition group of mutual interests. The following six MPs, were both members of the LIDEM parliamentary group and LIDEM party:
