Title: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: West_Midlander on September 05, 2017, 07:10:32 AM Also: Will McMullin join forces with the UUP. If he did, would it bolster them to (more) success?
Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: _ on September 05, 2017, 07:40:43 AM UUP will gain at least 3 state reps, 1 state senator, and get 5%+ in the 2018 senate race. They won't fade away imo.
Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: TheSaint250 on September 05, 2017, 09:28:05 AM I think Bennett will get at least 5% in the special election.
I really hope it succeeds as an example for the nation. Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: Strudelcutie4427 on September 05, 2017, 06:41:04 PM Whats their platform?

Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: wxtransit on November 12, 2017, 10:56:20 PM Whats their platform? I think I read that they're conservative on social issues but liberal on economic, but I might be wrong. Also, if McMullin does join forces with the UUP, they could have a shot at a senate seat depending on who the Republicans nominate.

They are socially liberal and fiscally conservative Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: Lachi on November 22, 2017, 04:21:17 PM Whats their platform?

They seem to be like those kind of Republicans that are just slightly more moderate on certain issues but don't really separate themselves.

VOTE! on December 03, 2017, 06:21:30 AM About as successfull as McMullin was in finishing ahead of Hillary in 2016.
Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: DPKdebator on December 10, 2017, 05:01:30 PM If the UUP ever went national, I wonder what they'd call themselves... maybe the American Unity Party or the American Liberty Party?

Post by: NYSforKennedy2024 on November 16, 2018, 12:06:29 PM It's similar to the Serve America Movement but state-focused and less likely to succeed IMO.
I'd say at best a member of the House one day. More than likely a few State Senators. Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: pops on November 20, 2018, 02:29:54 PM Jesse Ventura 2.0
Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner on November 29, 2018, 07:23:25 PM Decent chance they become a rising force in Utah politics, imo.
Title: Re: How successful will the United Utah Party be in the coming years? Post by: Lachi on November 30, 2018, 01:11:48 AM They had an ok start in 2018 I feel, but if they want to be more relevant, they need to get their name out there and improve their name recognition significantly.

Post by: Agonized-Statism on September 17, 2019, 08:41:33 AM The reason George Wallace was so successful over previous southern third party tickets was that he had a relatively more national message. For UUP to mean anything in a presidential election, they'll have to go beyond the Mormon voting bloc and appeal to someone else. Say, moderates, social conservatives, free trade Republicans, whoever gets left out of whatever coalition stabilizes post-Trump. I suspect social conservatives will be tossed to the curb, because to survive, the GOP has to branch out to minorities or white social liberals. I see the latter as more likely.
