The Caucus of Justice, full name Caucus of Justice - Alliance of Kiravian Reservatives and Conformists, is a caucus in the Federal Stanora of the Kiravian Federacy composed of parties and independent politicians embracing conservative principles of both a traditionalist conservative and reformist nature. Its organisational and ideological heritage descends from the supporters of the pre-Kirosocialist social and political order in Kiravia who rejected Kirosocialism but also liberalism and Neo-Shaftonism, which they rejected as advancing a "philosophical" rather than "historical" foundation for political life.

Platform

Economics

In economic matters, the official vision of the Caucus of Justice is a "virtuous and rooted market economy" It broadly opposes the market liberalism and "managerial" ordoliberalism of the Shaftonist-Republicans on one hand and socialism, including Kirosocialism, on the other. Though usually in agreement with the Caritist Social Union in this area, it is also skeptical of the more interventionist and redistributive goals of that caucus' left wing. CoJ legislative initiatives on economic matters tend to prioritise stability and sustainability over growth, producerism and the real economy over finance and capital markets, localism over globalism, and small/medium/micro-enterprises over large public corporations. Protecting the traditional economy, the interests of farmers and foresters, and property rights are major policy goals. Some within the caucus have embraced organic socialism.

Federalism and Administration

The Caucus of Justice seeks a return to pre-Kirosocialist layer-cake federalism, with clearer delineation between areas of state responsibility and areas of federal responsibility, and the return of more policy areas to the exclusive competency of the states. It supports a smaller federal government with fewer domestic powers, as well as a more self-restrained foreign policy.

Aboriginal affairs

The caucus is a strong advocate for greater Aboriginal autonomy and seeks to curtail federal interference in the internal affairs of Aboriginal tribes. It supports establishing reservations for landless and displaced Aboriginal peoples, as well as expanding existing reservations to enable their survival as organic communities and viable traditional economies.

In 21202, the Caucus of Justice proposed the Aboriginal Statehood Process Act, which evisaged a process to enable Aboriginal reserves with federal status to become full-fledged states of the Kiravian Federacy after establishing fiscal solvency and meeting certain development benchmarks. The bill did not progress very far and was regarded by critics as constitutionally dubious, but was praised by some Aboriginal groups.

Voter Base

Caucus of Justice members generally earn the votes of those who benefited from or seek to return to the pre-Kirosocialist order of Kiravian society, including Southerners, landowners, Coscivian Orthodox clerics and parishoners, and residents of more traditional rural villages operating on premodern systems of labour organisation and land tenure. However, in the post-Kirosocialist era, Caucus members have worked to expand their coalition and court new groups of voters, such as small business owners (especially in rural and semi-rural areas), people in neglected and alienated regions (particularly inland ones) of northern and western states, exurbanites, and immigrant groups.

The strongest and most crucial mass of support for the Caucus is in South Kirav, where an agrarian semi-manorial economy and a strong local identity steeped in traditional values and premodern modes of life pair with a long history of hostility toward the Northern-dominated federal government ensure overwhelming support for the Southern Green-Right family of parties, most of which completely dominate the internal politics of their respective states, and all of which are affiliated with the Caucus of Justice. The other most critical regional base for the caucus is Æonara, which regularly elects conservative Delegates from the (SRA-affiliated) Renaissance Party who choose to caucus with the CJ.

The Caucus of Justice receives strong electoral support from certain ethnic and religious minority communities. Kiravian Old Conservatives were noted defenders of the traditional autonomy, land tenure, and other historic privileges held by Aboriginal Kiravite communities, and many Aboriginals fought for traditionalist militia during the Colour Wars. Today, Aboriginals living on rural and tribal land, especially in the central third of Great Kirav, are a reliable voter bloc for Caucus of Justice candidates, though support from the Aboriginal population overall has eroded as many Aboriginals have moved to urban areas and shifted towards the CSU and NDA. Homeland Heritage Partnership, a CJ-aligned political organising committee, directs outreach efforts toward Aboriginal voters in West Kirav (who historically have very low levels of political engagement), building on these communities' strong distrust of the federal government and social engineering and their reverence for traditional lifestyles and institutions.

Many Muslim populations in the Kiravian Federacy favour the Caucus of Justice. This is especially true in the Kiravian South, home to the largest Muslim populations, where Muslim community and political leaders maintain close relationships with the dominant Southern Green-Right party networks. In other parts of Great Kirav, Coscivian Muslims (Kēbavem) generally vote for SRA candidates, though those with a more comprehensively Islamist outlook prefer candidates pledged to the CJ. The CJ receives some support from non-Coscivian Muslims of immigrant origin in Northern and Western metro areas. In Sydona, the local CJ affiliate relies predominantly on Shi'ite voters in state elections, but CJ-pledged candidates win over a healthy share of Sunnis in federal elections.

Due to the Federacy's preferential immigration policies that effectively privilege immigrants from cultures and countries with strong traditional values, Caucus of Justice-affiliated parties have garnered support from various non-Coscivian immigrant communities and religious minorities, such as Traditionalist Catholics of Levantine origin, Kópistonians, Éhrikkans, and Skithanawites.
