The Moderate Caucus of Nouvelle Alexandrie (MC, MCNA, or the "Moderates") is a small political party in Nouvelle Alexandrie that was founded in 1703 AN. The party has 3 Deputies in the Federal Assembly and currently serves as the junior party in a coalition government with the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance since 1703 AN.

In the aftermath of the 1703 general election, 3 independent Deputies Yuri Allcca Canchasto (WEC), Christian Clavier (ALD), and Émile Dumont (ALD) came together and founded the Moderate Caucus under the Common Sense Principles. These principles center around three main themes: favor the establishment of a prosperous market economy, prevent the erosion of civil rights and expand the freedoms of New Alexandrians, and to dissolve the Chamber of Peers to turn it into an elected Senate. The three Deputies had seen that there was an opportunity for them to enter into a coalition with the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance, which needed two more seats to obtain a majority after the 1703 general election.

Under the leadership of Yuri Allcca Canchasto, the Moderate Caucus has gained the support of a diverse group of New Alexandrian constituents, mostly urban middle class, college educated, liberal voters. The Moderate Caucus also counts on the support of a large part of the Federal Union of Educators, through Émile Dumont, who was its national leader until being elected to the Federal Assembly as an independent in 1703 AN from Alduria.

A centrist to centre-left political party, the Moderate Caucus ideologically draws upon Aldricism, liberalism, and social democracy. The party calls for constitutional reform, such as the dissolution of the Chamber of Peers, the establishment of an elected Senate, and the full rewrite of Chapter II of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago to include more labor, economic, and greater political rights.

History

In the aftermath of the 1703 general election, 3 independent Deputies Yuri Allcca Canchasto (WEC), Christian Clavier (ALD), and Émile Dumont (ALD) came together and founded the Moderate Caucus under the Common Sense Principles.

These Common Sense Principles center around three main themes:

• the establishment of a prosperous market economy;
• prevent the erosion of civil rights and expand the freedoms of New Alexandrians;
• dissolve the Chamber of Peers to turn it into an elected Senate.

Under the leadership of Yuri Allcca Canchasto, the Moderate Caucus has gained the support of a diverse group of New Alexandrian constituents, mostly urban middle class, college educated, liberal voters. The Moderate Caucus also counts on the support of a large part of the Federal Union of Educators, through Émile Dumont, who was its national leader until he was elected to the Federal Assembly as an independent in 1703 AN from Alduria.

The three Deputies had seen that there was an opportunity for them to enter into a coalition with the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance, which needed two more seats to obtain a majority after the 1703 general election.

Coalition with the Social Democrats

The Moderate Caucus entered into a coalition with the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance, led by Julio Delgado as Premier and Itziar Franco as Vice-Premier. Moderate Caucus Leader Yuri Allcca Canchasto was appointed Secretary of State in the Council of State. Deputies Émile Dumont and Christian Clavier are not part of the Council of State, but they occupy important posts in helping Canchasto develop policy ideas and legislative plans.

The coalition agreement with the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance in 1703 AN did not include any constitutional reform, but the Moderate Caucus won commitments around the creation of a universal multi-payer health care system paid for by a combination of statutory health insurance and private health insurance and other important policy goals, including better pay and training for teachers and educational professionals.

Name and symbols

The name of the Moderate Caucus comes from the origin of the group. Deputies Yuri Allcca Canchasto (WEC), Christian Clavier (ALD), and Émile Dumont (ALD) were all newly elected independent Deputies from their respective Regions in the 1703 general elections. Seeing an opportunity to prop a progressive government led by the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance, the Deputies formed a parliamentary group called the "Moderate Caucus".
