The National Alliance is a left-wing political party in Slokais Islands. Founded by Joseph Chavez in 2017, the party quickly rose to political prominence due to internal conflict in other left-wing parties. Today the National Alliance is considered a major party in Slokais with the highest number of popular votes in the 2022 Election.
History[edit | edit source]
Founding[edit | edit source]
The National Alliance was founded by Joseph Chavez in 2017. Although he had been a member of the Center Party, Chavez became frustrated with leadership. This tension had been building since the 2016 Center Party Presidential Primary when Chavez was narrowly nominated over Joseph Zhang. Chavez was a leader in the Center Party's left-wing faction that pushed Zhang on economics and social issues. In 2017, an internal document by the Center Party was leaked known as the Chavez Doctrine. The Chavez Doctrine suggested using political pressure and the potential use of triads to force Chavez to resign from the Presidency. Upon this, a criminal investigation began by New Liverpool Police and the SIBI on charges of attempted assault and second-degree stalking. Chavez then announced he would change affiliation to Independent on August 28th, 2017. Per an autobiography by MP Dylan Hernan in 2022, Chavez began consulting with other political parties about joining their party. According to Hernan, Chavez also began recruiting political allies to join a new political party. The name National Alliance was chosen to represent the party's nationwide focus and goal of being an alliance of various political and social groups. Hernan also stated that other names considered included "Forward Alliance" and "People's Majority".
Along with some support from other MPs, Chavez created the National Alliance on September 8th, 2017, and followed with an address to the public. In his speech, Chavez called out corruption and stated that the National Alliance would allow for a new political movement to form. Following this, the National Alliance established an online poll for new Party members to vote on a political platform. When the National Alliance was formed 40 MPs of the Centrist Party joined as well as 14 from the The Left Party of Slokais.
2018 Election[edit | edit source]
In 2018, they gained enough seats that they could form a collation even though Chavez lost the Presidency he was now Prime Minister. In 2019 the National Alliance made small gains in special elections. Heading into 2020, the party began eating away at the Left Party, eventually forming itself as the main left-wing party. ===2020 Election The party won 172 seats and led a government by Alexandra Ahmad. The National Alliance lost 25 seats in 2022, mainly from the gains of Socialist-Labor.
Policy[edit | edit source]
The National Alliance Official Policy is generally socially liberal and economically left-leaning. Key policies include free government healthcare as well as private healthcare remains as an option. The National Alliance had generally supported reforming Kaijan as a means of preventing political violence. One internal difference in policy is the issue of military and police spending, with Chavez being more supportive of utilizing force and continued funding of police while other party members have opposed such ideas. This difference in opinion is due to the official policy being voted on and drafted by party members since 2017. This populist approach has led to political ideals more broad.
Organzation[edit | edit source]
The highest-ranking official within the National Alliance is the Leader of the Party, currently and always has been Joseph Chavez since 2017. The Leader is elected by a National Convention every election cycle. So far Joseph Chavez has won each race by a large margin. Below that is the President of the Party who is the leader within the Slokaisian Legislature their duties are to act almost as party whip, often talking to other party, members. However, since Alexandra Ahmad is Prime Minister, her duties are mostly done by a group of 3 Deputies called "Deputies to the President of the Party". These are chosen by an election of party MPs every session.
