Moderate Royalist Union

The Moderate Royalist Union is a Darnussian political party founded in September 2599, forming out of the Darnussian Democrats, which formed out of the Anti-Theocrat Party. The founder of the party, and current Chairman, is Alexis Menzies. There is also a Deputy Chairman, currently Brent Williams, the former leader of the ATP and former deputy chairman of the Democrats.

The party's official ideology is small-l liberalism, which is closely similar to centrism. The MRU has a mix of social liberal, moderate, and conservative views; though it usually falls under the category of centre-left; just as its predecessor, the Darnussian Democrats, did. Other than those views, the MRU is also a royalist party that support reestablishing the monarchy in the United Republic.

In the elections of 2594, the Democrats saw a large gain in Parliament seats, becoming the second largest party in Darnussia. Meanwhile, the Moderate Coalition that was founded by the Democrats and Christian Democratic Union won the Presidency with the CDU's Colonel Thomas Slayback. Following the elections, the Democrat headquarters was moved to Merenbürg, Narikaton due to the party having its largest support in that state. In June 2595 the leadership of Allison Fielding was voted to an end and she was replaced by Alexis Menzies. Menzies and other Royalist Democrats took power to voice their support for the Conditional Surrender Bill in the civil war and to voice their view of reestablishing the monarchy fully. After the civil war ended, the Democrats adopted a name more suited to the union of Narikaton and Darnussia by becoming the Democrats of the United Republic. Some party members doubted the name, stating it was too long and incomplete. Many Democrats began pushing for a total name change. These Democrats reached their goal in a matter of days and the Darnussian Democrats became the Moderate Royalist Union, a name highly favored by Chairman Alexis Menzies, who led the royalist faction of the Democrats. Under this new name, the MRU carried the same views as the Democrats, but support of a monarchy was added to the parties views.
