The formation of a new political party in the Maldives called The Democrats, backed by the former President of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, indicates that there is a need for change in the political landscape of the country. The success of this party will depend on the strength of its manifesto, the support of the people, and its ability to bring about the desired change. It remains to be seen how The Democrats will perform in the future and what impact they will have on the Maldives' politics.

The Maldives is a presidential representative democratic republic. The President is both the  head of state and government, and the legislative power is vested in the People's Majlis  (parliament), which consists of 87 members. Maldives is known for its political instability, and the country has seen various regimes in its history. In recent years, there have been various challenges to democracy and the rule of law  in Maldives, including restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly and the harassment and detention of political opponents. The country has also faced various socio-economic  and environmental issues in recent times, such as climate change, rising sea levels, and the impact of the COVID-19  pandemic. Despite these challenges, Maldives has made significant progress in recent years in  various areas such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure development. 

The country is also seeking to promote sustainable tourism and renewable energy to achieve its environmental goals. 

Overall, Maldives continues to face challenges in consolidating its democracy and addressing its socio-economic and environmental issues, but there is also potential for further progress in various areas.
