The New Party is a political party in Slokais Islands, founded in 1999, the New Right is considered a major political party. Although originally founded among evangelicals dissatisfied with the Conservative's handling of the economic crisis of 1998, by the mid-2010s party leadership became dominated by those from Ambonar Province. Today the party is led by Isaias Jovan Bongalos who took over from former Presidential candidate and social media personality, Micheal Spencer.
History[edit | edit source]
In 1999, a group of political thinkers and Conservative members gathered in Newton, North Princeton, and founded a new political party known as the New Right, to oppose the so-called "old right". In the words of the founder Ramiro Acosta, "the New Right, seeks to both to restore and advance right-wing politics" [a] The original party platform called for an end to immigration and a vast reduction in govermeant spending. In the 2000 Election, the New Right elected 12 MPs primarily in North and South Princeton, establishing the provinces as early centers for the New Right.
Through the 2000s, the New Right presented itself as a working-class alternative to the Conservative's dominance of middle-class and wealthy suburbanites. Although they lacked the support from mainstream organized labor, the New Right's advocacy for coal miners led to a 2006 endorsement by the Organization of Slokasian Mine Workers (OSMW) which helped the New Right win elections in coal-heavy regions such as West Xiang and rural Valleres Province. In 2016, the New Right elected Micheal Spencer as their Presidential candidate, Spencer brought together a new colation of voters with his widely popular radio program. In addition, the Ambonar Christian Party (ACP), a major provincial party endorsed Spencer leading to support from the typically high turnout Ambonar Christians.
Politcal Policy[edit | edit source]
The New Right is socially conservative and nationalistic, with the party being overwhelmingly evangelical Christian. Values include opposition to government expansion and immigration, with freedom over one's self-being a defining value. Although not explicitly against Abortion and same-sex marriage, large numbers of party voters support the end of both practices. In addition, the New Right is largely populist, with conspiracy theories such as the Kaijan War Plot having support from New Right figures.
Demographics[edit | edit source]
Since the mid-2010s, the New Right has been strongest among Ambonar Christians due to socially conservative policy and the takeover of the party by church members. In addition, the New Right has strong support among rural working-class voters, specifically in the coal mining industry due to the party's opposition to environmental regulations which the New Right has blamed for the economic decline of rural Slokais.
