History
The New Right was founded in 1999 as a follow-up to the Union Party who held similarly far-right viewpoints. In the 2000 election the party gained national attention after appearing at various left-wing politcal events as counter-protesters. In that election, the New Right won 12 seats. In 2016, the New Right swept local elections across many provinces, followed by a wave of support in 2018. In 2021 it was discovered that members of the party were actively involved in the United Front militant organization. Repsentive John Woods was removed and charged with collusion with a militant organization and involvement in multiple deaths from the United Front. This caused a rift within the party, as some supported Woods despite his arrest and eventual conviction on terrorism charges.
Policy
The New Right is socially conservative and nationalistic, supporting expansion of army and naval forces. New Right supports free-market economics along with traditional social values, although some are Minjian radicals and support an idea of social gospel, economic spending in education as well as adherence to the edicts of Minjian. Much of the support for the New Right has come from rural areas, often those who have gone through economic recession since the 2000s.
