The Coscivian National Congress traces its origins to the [[United Allegiance Society]], a {{wp|Political club|political club}} that grew into a powerful minority faction within the [[Renaissance Party]]. The UAS was characterised by strong Coscivian nationalist convictions, as well as a more statist and authoritarian approach to politics that differentiated it from the conservative-liberal mainstream of the Renaissance Party and an unflinching modernism that put its members at odds with ardent traditionalists in the Party apparatus and the Army officer corps. | The Coscivian National Congress traces its origins to the [[United Allegiance Society]], a {{wp|Political club|political club}} that grew into a powerful minority faction within the [[Renaissance Party]] during the Rump Republic. The UAS was characterised by strong Coscivian nationalist convictions, as well as a more statist and authoritarian approach to politics that differentiated it from the conservative-liberal mainstream of the Renaissance Party and an unflinching modernism that put its members at odds with ardent traditionalists in the Party apparatus and the Army officer corps. Both of these differentiating characteristics were inspired by the [[Restarkism|Restarkist]] philosophy of the [[Republican Nationalist Party]], with which the Society's founders had come into contact while serving as military liaisons in [[the Cape]]. The UAS would grow into a powerful faction within the Renaissance Party and exerted influence over the Federalist government-in-exile. | ||
After the restoration, the Renaissance Party faction that had formed around the UAS began operating autonomously, first as an intraparty caucus and later as a semi-independent caucus within the National Renewal Movement as the ''National Republicans'', a name which its members had already been using for a while now. When the National Renewal Movement fractured, the National Republicans found common cause with independent groups and movements outside of the NRM. These included conservative groups of a Coscosophist and Pan-Coscivianist bent that had reëmerged from the underground after Kirosocialism, and many former Kirosocialists of a [[Kiravian social-nationalism|Kiravian social-nationalist]] persuasion. Although these groups differed significantly on policy and philosophy, they united around a common opposition to Occidental influence and the adverse effects of economic liberalisation and came together to form the Coscivian National Congress. | |||
For most of the Second Alignment (between the breakup of the NRM and the rise of the [[Labour Front of Kirav|LFK]]), the CNC found electoral success at the expense of the ever-declining [[New Deal Alliance]] (successors to the old [[Kirosocialist Party|Socialist Party]]), earning the support of working-class Coscivian voters in industrial areas hit hard by the economic shocks of liberalisation. These voters, who had either remained loyal to the Kirosocialists after the Restoration or thrown back in with the NDA after the NRM's economic policies failed to deliver for them, were attracted to the CNC message of economic nationalism, national solidarity, and concern for the "left behind" communities of [[Three Kiravs Theory|Second Kirav]]. | |||
