United Alternative (BY-LAWS)

I may lean as somewhat centrist on the political spectrum, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of creating a purely "centrist" party (aka see the "Moderate Hero" fallacy as explained on this forum a lot ).

Concept idea for the name and the party logo. What do you guys think?

I like it.

Honestly, National Party makes it sound more far-right than moderate.

I don't understand, it refers to a moderate party for all Atlasians, not to right wing Nationalism.

I think what he is referring to is how some political parties that were in the right-wing/far-right spectrum were called the National Party.

For example, South Africa's National Party, which had majority political rule throughout most of the apartheid era.

However, not all "National Parties" are far-right, racial supremacist ones. The National Party of Australia is not far-right, and is pretty much a smaller version of the Australian Liberal Party, but with an agrarian slant.

I'm not saying you should change the name, I was just clarifying what he meant.

Do we have a specific party color, or not really (such as how the US democrats are blue, Republicans are Red, etc.)?

This was where I got the inspiration for the name, a centre right NZ political party, whose leader, (NZ Prime Minister John Key) is a centrist and socially liberal.

Ah. That makes sense.

To all people who are interested in joining: please sign up as x your name, so that we can avoid any doubts.

For example: I've seen that Simfan and EdgarAllenYOLO are interested in the party and so they'll be able to partecipate to the leadership elections, but signing with the formula "x your name" it's better.

I guess I sign up here?

If so, then I will do that.
