New Right (CPQOC)

The New Right (French: Nouvelle droite) is a center-right liberal-conservative political party in Constantinople. The party was founded in 2016 by merging the country's previous major center-right parties into one in order to oppose the rise of the national-conservative Renewal Party. Since then the New Right has gained parliamentary and local representation as members of the Renewal Party and the Democratic Party defected to the New Right. The party has thus grown into the country's second-largest party and a catch-all party for the political right.

The party is the latest in the string of Constantinopolitan political parties that are internally organized as a democracy. The membership base substantially increased between 2020 and 2022, when a majority of the members of the Renewal Party defected after their former party adopted an anti-lockdown, anti-vaccination and climate change denialist rhetoric.

Ideology
Since its foundation, the party has been led by the moderate Ulysse Antoniou (grandson of former prime minister Costas Antoniou), under whom the party has adopted progressive policies on climate change and social programs, leading it to be characterized as the "most left-wing party of the right-wing in Europe", with some even categorizing the New Right as a center-right liberal party instead of a conservative one.

The party argues for the continued liberalization of the Constantinopolitan economy but also proposes the continuation of the country's welfare state. In their platform, they call for "balancing strong economic growth with the needs of the everyday citizen". Economically, the party has called for the re-nationalization of the highway system and other key infrastructure. On social policy, the New Right supports same-sex marriage but is somewhat skeptical of issues of gender identity. They are a proponent of skilled immigration, putting forward a suggestion to attract digital nomads to the nation. The party supports the country's goal of carbon neutrality by 2035 and calls for large investments into the renewable energy sector. The New Right voted in favor of the government's proposal of a Green Belt that would limit the city-state's urban sprawl.

On foreign policy, the party is strongly pro-NATO and pro-EU with Antoniou declaring that the country would become a NATO member in the event of an electoral victory in 2023 Constantinopolitan general election (Queen of Cities). In the European Parliament it has strongly supported anti-Russian sanctions.
