Founded July 10, 2016, the Centrist Alliance is currently the second oldest political party within the Commonwealth Federation. It is also known as the Centrist Party, or simply abbreviated as the letter C.
What We Stand For:
The Centrist Alliance is a prospective political party in the Commonwealth Federation which adheres to the philosophies of political centrism, economic protectionism, national liberalism, communitarianism, and constitutionalism. Party members believe that the best approach to policy making is through moderation, to ensure that social and political changes are brought about in a manner that coexists with and strengthens traditional institutions found within local communities and sovereign states. As such members of the Centrist Alliance are not opposed to political change, but always advise restraint and care when considering legislation that could drastically undermine states by abruptly changing the social values and institutions they are built upon. Likewise, the party does not advocate for extremely limited government, or for pervasively powerful government, but favors medium sized, constitutionally constructed governments which work with individuals and communities to develop legislation responsive to the people's needs. As such, the party also recognizes the necessity of protectionist trade policies in order to protect those same communities and individuals from outside forces and unfair competition that seek to reduce wages or send skilled jobs to competing nations.
While not subscribing exclusively to the ideas of civil libertarianism or authoritarianism, members of the Centrist Alliance also believe that individual member states all should have the sovereign ability to form laws and maintain civil liberties that are consistent with the needs and traditions of their populations. Recognizing that each state and the people therein are fundamentally different, the Centrist Alliance maintains that each nation should receive unto itself the right to govern its people as it sees fit, so long as excessive force, genocide or extreme discrimination is not used to undermine the rights of citizens and their respective communities. When such repressive force is used, the Centrist Alliance upholds the right for nations to intervene as they see fit in order to protect the lives and liberties of the citizens of the world.
We the undersigned do hereby stand by these principles, and declare ourselves members of the Centrist Alliance:
The Populist Kingdom of Eastern Washington (Founder)
The Republic of Seamys (Founding Member)
The Republic of Scotlandi (Founding Member)
This message board shall henceforth stand as the official discussion place for member's of the Centrist Alliance, and for nations seeking membership within it.
