Foundation

The small group of former senior figures held a conference in Dirguzia Province to discuss the formation of a new centre-right political party. The conference lasted for a week in which the name, ideology, and purpose of the party were decided along with appointment of spokespeople and the creation of the National Executive Committee which would run the party in effective, with the chosen leader simply acting as the presidential candidate and face of the party.

Voter Base

The party doesn't fair too well in the 18 - 24 voter base where the Green Party of Kirlawa and the Liberal-Democratic Freedom Party tend to do the best, however it still picks up support ranging in low teens from that category.

The Party takes a lot of support from the Middle Classes with its support concentrated around the B, C1 and C2 sections of society, it picks up the least amount of support from the A class which are the 'upper middle class' with occupations that are likely to be 'higher managerial, administrative or professional'. The party's gender split between male and female is 60/40 respectively, with the party trying to increase their support amongst the minorities in order to boost their electoral chances.

Early History
As previously stated the party had started planning for the July 3822 General Assembly Elections, however their first electoral test came sooner than expected with snap elections being called in July of 3819 after the government coalition collapsed. Given the parties dramatic entrance into politics its early media coverage before the election was called is often credited with its first massive success with the party winning 12.83%
