The Nationalist Party

John was during his study an active member of the Conservative Union, one of the ruling parties in Aloria at that time. Cassidy's conservative views on ethical and moral questions made him entering politics.

But during this years, Cassidy lost his faith in the Conservative Union, as this party was getting too libertarian. He didn't like the policies of the MLP, and therefor he left the CU. This was in early 2617. In the following months, he made plans for the creation of a new conservative party, one that was able to solve the problems in Aloria at that time: enormously high crime rates, the immigration policy and the demorality of the society. Together with his younger brother Robert, businesstycoon Lyndon Grimaldi, lawyer Bernard Rosenberg and priest Morgan Alistair, he founded the Nationalist Party in the spring of 2618. John became the party's first leader, and in 2620 they entered parliament.

The party was very popular, especially in ultra-conservative province Ultran. They became with almost 65% the plurality party in Ultran, and in the 2623 elections they even became the plurality party in national parliament.
