Moderate Party of Rutania

The New Right is a national centre-right party in the Commonwealth of Rutania. The New Right has roots in other political parties, most notably the Progressive Conservatives, Liberals, Free Democrats, Social Democrats, and the Labour Party.

Founding
The United Alternative was founded by 22 parliamentarians. These members of Parliament found themselves increasingly at odds with their own parties and decided that it would be better to form a more inclusive political party. Fiscally conservative but socially liberal, these parliamentarians were soon able to draw an additional 73 members into their party. Initially the new party was known as the United Alternative but it quickly became recognized as the New Right.

Degotardi
Toby Degotardi was elected to Parliament in June 3484 as a member of the Rutanian Liberty Party. He found himself at odds with the party leadership after having been passed over for a position in the government. In June 3492, Degotardi was elected to Parliament as an independent. He spearheaded the United Alternative movement and was selected as the first official leader of the newly formed New Right. Degotardi was a fierce monarchist and an avowed support of a smaller Parliament.
