The Commonwealth Union had its roots as "FitzRex's Men", a loose coalition of members of the [[Concilium Daoni]] elected in 1895 who aligned themselves with the reform efforts of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]]. The Union would soon be defined by its opposition to more radical socialist efforts to establish a [[Urcean Republic]], ensuring their survival after the [[Red Interregnum]]. The party would go on to win control of the Daoni in 1905 and not surrender it until 1930, and it hold it again from 1950 to 2020 with only fifteen years of [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]] control in between.
The Commonwealth Union had its roots as "FitzRex's Men", a loose coalition of members of the [[Concilium Daoni]] elected in 1895 who aligned themselves with the reform efforts of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]]. The founding members of the Union specifically would emerge out of the pro-peace, pro-reconciliation elements of the ruling majority coalition, and it would soon be defined by its opposition to more radical socialist efforts to establish a [[Urcean Republic]]. At the end of the conflict, though most FitzRex loyalists were ejected from positions of power, the core of what would become the Commonwealth Union - a group of twenty "approved" (i.e. compatible with the restoration) members were left in place, and the "Approved Twenty" began the process of building a political apparatus between [[1902]] and [[1905]].
