Starkists are the majority faction within the NRP, and place particular emphasis on the anti-monarchy and anti-corruption pillars of Cananachan Republicanism. Starkists are typically dominant over the Futurists and the minor parties in court positions, political oversight groups, and policing and diplomatic branches. They maintained a steady plurality within all three houses of the [[Joint Seats of the Concord|Concord]] from 1906 to 1950, after which they suffered a split from the Futurists and nearly lost their plurality during the Lean Years. As the 'default' party of incoming political figures and the traditional bloc for many cities, they have enjoyed a relatively comfortable leading position for most of the Republic's history. Currently, they are losing a great deal of authority to the Futurists, including the public switch of the Party Lead and Despot, [[Brennan Walaerin]], to the minority in 2018. | Starkists are the majority faction within the NRP, and place particular emphasis on the anti-monarchy and anti-corruption pillars of Cananachan Republicanism.

Of great concern is the increasing polarization of people within the Starkist leadership itself, who have become split between moderates and radicals, with the radicals becoming increasingly obsessed with ideological puritanism to the point of ignoring practical day-to-day maintenance of the State and refusing to cooperate with other parties and occasionally even the Futurists on any points.

Above and beyond the original tenets of Cananachan Republicanism, these individuals have become increasingly associated with [[GaelWind|Gaelic ethnocentrism]] and a lack of concern for political cohesion and international relations, which have become major points of political interest. Many political experts expect mass defections to the Futurists from the moderate circles to be a near-future inevitability, with trends since the turn of the century showing no signs of slowing down. | ||
