Humanist Center

The Humanist Center was formed on June 1st, 2021 by Apples in response to the increased partisanship in Doggerland and his dissatisfaction with the Forward coalition. The party advocates for bipartisanship and humanism. It's positioned as a big tent party ready to accept anyone willing to compromise and believing in humanism. The HC works with both the Reform Doggerland Alliance and Forward! and is designed to hold the middle between the two large coalitions.

Formation
The Humanist Center was formed because of the increased partisanship in the National Assembly, dissatisfaction with both the Reform Doggerland Alliance incumbent government and the Forward! opposition as well as because of the chaos and instability which has overtaken Doggerland. The formation of the party was sped up due to the called snap elections.

Doggerland Belongs to You
The Humanist Center helped form the center-left Doggerland Belongs to You coalition which has governed the nation since June 7th, after leader Apples called for government stability. HC members have been given the positions of Minister of Education, Families and Equalities and Minister of Health under the government.

Together Democratic Alliance
The Humanist Center joined forces with the Liberal Party and Volt Doggerland to form the centrist Together Democratic Alliance. This makes all three parties committed to sitting together and backing the same government after the July 2021 Doggerland legislative elections.

Allegations
Although not widespread there have been allegations from right-wing individuals (most notably by Enrico Harper) that the party was formed to drain centrist votes and use them to help form a left-wing government after the 2021 June elections. These allegations stemmed from the fact that the party's creator Apples was a former communist with some doubting the moderate stance espoused by the party. No allegations have been confirmed.
