Civic Union

The Civic Union, formerly known as the Reform Alliance, is a centre-right political party in Doggerland currently led by PrisonMike.

History
The Civic Union was founded on 26 January 2021, and Mayo Man was elected as its first leader on the same day. In the January 2021 legislative elections, the party won its first eleven seats in the National Assembly of Doggerland. After the election, Civic Union formed the Official Opposition, together with the Liberal Party and the Libertarian Party.

On February 24, 2021, the Civic Union announced its absorption of the Libertarian Party.

On February 25, 2021, the Civic Union announced its absorption of the Green Party. At this time the Civic Union reached 14 seats in the National Assembly, tying with the LWP for second largest party in the house.

Ideology
The Civic Union manifesto for the January 2021 legislative elections defines the party as being committed to the tenets of liberal conservatism and Christian democracy. The party advocates balanced budgets, progressive taxation and a free market capitalist economy with worker protections. It supports the monarchy and democratic institutions, advocates attracting skilled immigrants, and is in favour of a strong military for defensive purposes. The party is also in favour of legalising marijuana only for medicinal purposes.

The party has also been described as green conservative. It supports the introduction of a carbon tax and an emissions trading scheme, while also advocating the protection of wildlife areas and the increase of biodiversity.

Like many liberal conservative parties in Europe the CU also supports gay rights and has a moderate stance on abortion.
