Alorian Freedom Party (4257)

The Alorian Freedom Party (AFP) is an Artaniasceptic and right-wing populist political party in the Republic of Aloria. It is headquartered in Freiheit, Gavonshire, and currently led by Seth John. In the Alorian Senate, AFP has no Senators in the Senate.

Ideologically positioned on the right wing of Alorian politics, AFP has been characterized as part of a broader European radical right by political scientists. It promotes an Alorian nationalist agenda. AFP's primary emphasis has been on lower immigration, calling for regulations on the influx of immigrants into Aloria. It has also placed strong emphasis on Artaniascepticism (calling for Aloria's Exit from the Artanian Union), opposing multiculturalism, and encouraging a unitary Alorian identity. On social issues like LGBT rights and education policy it is moderate. Influenced by conservatism and classical liberalism, it describes itself as economically libertarian and promotes liberal economic policies. Having an ideological heritage stemming from the right wing of Alorian politics, it distinguishes itself from the political establishment through heavy use of populist rhetoric.

AFP originated as the Aloria First League, a single-issue nativist organization established by the engineer Jason Fulbright in 4246. Fulbright was then ousted by a faction led by Seth John, who became the group's preeminent figure. Under John's leadership, from 4257 the group renamed itself the AFP, entered politics as a political party, and adopted a wider policy platform and capitalized on concerns about rising immigration, in particular among the White Alorian working class.

Governed by its leader and Central Executive Committee, AFP is divided into five state groups. While gaining support from various sectors of Alorian society, political scientists have established that its primary base consists largely of older, working-class white Alorians. AFP has faced a critical reception from mainstream political parties, much of the Alorian media, and anti-fascist groups; its discourse on immigration and cultural identity have generated accusations of racism and xenophobia, both of which it denies.
