FOR THE PEOPLE

The National Coalition is a patriotic alliance of parties, at a national and state level, that have united against the forces of authoritarian unitarianism and state socialism. As a coalition we advocate for the pursuit of a libertarian society with a free market and civic nationalism for state identities and for the Lovian identity. We believe in devolving powers to the Governors and reinforcing the power of the Supreme Court. We wish to smash monopolies and resist the intrusiveness of American multinationals attempting to override our own Lovian businesses. We believe in the democratic power of the people and wish to give them more strength through referenda. Below is the details of the platform that National Coalition candidates for the upcoming Federal Election will stand on.

The Conservative Nationalist Party list will be the list that candidates of the National Coalition will stand with.
