The Alliance of the Centre is a political party in the Republica Democratica de Tukarali. On the political spectrum it is located in the centreleft. Centerism, Liberalism and Environmentalism are all key ideologies that for the beliefs of the parties members.

Early Years

The Alliance of the Centre was started as the Center Party in 3493. The first leader was Rafael Galletta. The first election, in 3496 was terrible for the small party; it only garnered 0.05% of the vote. Galletta would lead the party to an electoral breakthrough in the 3500 election with 10 seats and 6.1% of the vote. Growth would come fairly slowly for the chief opposition party to the centerright Tukarese Democratic Union (TDU). By the 3508 election, the party, now running under the Moderate Alliance name, would double it's representation in the national legislature to 33 seats and 26.6% of the votes. Rafael Galletta stepped down as leader of the party two years later. Galletta was replaced by interm-leader and former presidential candidate David Cross who would lead the party into the next election. Rafael Galletta would then go on to run for president in the 3512 election, gaining 27.8% in the first round, and forcing Joan Capaldi of the TDU into the second round thanks to a large vote for Jake Green of the Socialist Workers Party. A difficult second round ended with Galletta having 43.7% of the vote. In the legislative elections, the Moderate Alliance gained 2 seats to get 35 and 27.9% of the vote (+1.3%). The party decided to form a coalition government with the TDU and not the SWP.

3512 Convention

After the 3512 election, the centerist Moderate Alliance held a party convention. Rafael Galletta became a legislative candidate while David Cross left politics altogether. The party members voted in favour of changing the party name to Alliance of the Centre. Marina Santos replaced Rafael Galletta as presidential candidate for the party and Juan Silva became leader after a tight race between a young Trade and Industry minister, Marcos Breton, Morata Valley Party Chair Juan Silva, and environmental activist Andres Cavalhero. Silva won with 51.6%, with Breton at 46.8% and Cavalhero at 1.6%. The party also voted to move a bit more to the centerleft to distinguish it from the TDU.

3512-

The party pushed several important bills through the Tukarese national assembly such as a Gender Equality bil and an environmental protection bill. these solidified the party's position as a centerleft party.
