Order of Nation is a political party in the Czech Republic. It was founded on May 3, 2012 by Karolína Peake after she and seven other MPs broke away from the Public Affairs party. The previous name of the party was LIDEM.
The party supports greater individual freedom in 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 November 9th, 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 January 10, 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, as long as they could renegotiate a new improved coalition agreement with TOP 09 and ODS.
On August 7, 2013, Karolína Peake (leader of LIDEM) left the Chamber of Deputies building during a vote of confidence for the Jiří Rusnok government. The remainder of the LIDEM deputies remained in the building and voted against the Jiří Rusnok government. The next day, August 8, 2013, Karolína Peake announced her resignation as LIDEM leader.
LIDEM was renamed to VIZE2014 in March 2014. The party changed its name 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 were never members of the LIDEM party itself, instead collaborating with them as independents in order to form a stronger coalition group. The following six MPs were both members of the LIDEM parliamentary group and LIDEM party:
