Founded in January 2532, the Kirlawan People's Justice Party (KPJP), a major political party in Kirlawa, aim to be pretty centrist overall. On some issues Left, on other ones Nationalist; generally secular or religiously neutral, moderately isolationist. To the extent that we are able, pro-small-business and anti-big-business. We steadfastly oppose both neoliberalism and neoconservatism.

[edit] Influences

KPJP have been influenced by these ideas, among others:

• Democratic socialism
• Social democracy
• Nationalism
• National-conservatism
• Green politics
• Anti-corporate
• Anti-globalization
• Economic nationalism
• Isolationism
• Protectionism
• Producerism
• Mercantilism
• Communitarianism
• Radical centrism

and more.
With such a great number of influences, it is difficult to summarize KPJP's approach in only one word, to fit in the infobox. The relatively loose term Populist might be best.

[edit] Cornerstone issues

Like virtually all political parties, KPJP certainly hold opinions on many issues, but the three which we feel the most strongly about are:

• Pro- homeschooling
• Anti- "intellectual property"
• Pro- socialized medicine, although preferably also keeping private options available for those who prefer them

[edit] Supporters

Despite being an isolationist, closed-borders party, KPJP are surprisingly popular among recent immigrants to Kirlawa ... sometimes more so than among people whose ancestors have lived in Kirlawa for centuries. In seeking to interpret this counterintuitive observation, some have drawn parallels to the phenomenon of "the fervor of the new convert".
