A devotée of the | A devotée of the foundational Coscivian philosopher [[Shaftonism#Shafto|Shafto]], Candrin and has spoken of his Shaftonic belief in "ethical living as the ultimate challenge of human existence". He is a proponent of [[Shaftonist democracy]] and has authored a monograph, ''Ektarkar us Inigron Athnivirsá Tuonē Niluternax Astroāritá'' ("Structuring and Maintenance of ''Athnivirsa'' ['Proper Order'] in the Processes of the Modern Administrative State") on applied Shaftonist political philosophy. Reportedly, he has also penned a series of essays on Shaftonist legal theory and the relationship between {{wp|natural law}} and Imperial law, which are to be published sometime after he leaves office. | ||
Candrin's | It has been noted that Candrin's political career is very much a product of the [[Antipartisan law in Kiravia|Anti-Party Law]] and the consequent formation of the SRA by opening the door to amalgamation of the [[Renaissance Party|Republican Renaissance Party]] with previously independent centre-right groups, such as Candrin's provincial Excelsior Party. He is notable for being the first SRA-backed Prime Executive to have never been a member of the Renaissance Party, nor even a [[Federalist Lodges|Federalist Lodge]]. Candrin was awarded an honourary membership by the Valēka Federalist Society while in office, but has not exercised any privileges conferred thereby. | ||
While not a [[Coscivian National Congress|Coscivian nationalist]] ''per se'' and opposed to Coscivian nationalists on economic and migration issues, Candrin nonetheless believes in the fundamental importance of a Coscivian cultural identity for Kiravia and has said that "it has become the duty of the Kiravian Federacy, and of the Prime Executive, to defend and advance Coscivian civilisation as a whole." The colloquial title "Leader of the Coscivian world" began being applied to Candrin in the media after the liberation of [[Sydona Isles|Sydona]] and has remained a popular by-word for the [[Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy|Prime Executure]] ever since. | Candrin's economic policies have variously been described as {{wp|neoliberal}} or {{wp|ordoliberal}}. He is a strong proponent of a capitalist market economy, free trade and the free flow of capital, and privatisation, all of which he implemented as Governor of Kiygrava, and as Prime Executive. Candrin has often faced criticism from {{wp|social market economy|social-marketeers}, {{wp|distributism|distributists}}, and [[Model Economy|Model Economists]] who accuse him of having centred materialist, utilitarian values in policymaking and prioritised corporate profits over {{wp|human development}}. | ||

Candrin belongs to the Insular Apostolic Church and attends Divine Liturgy in Kroveniren Hall's chapel with members of his staff. Due to his education at a Catholic university, relatively Occidentalised lifestyle, and his coastal bourgeois background (a stereotype associated with Catholicism in Kiravian culture), Candrin was speculated by some in the {{wp|commentariat}} to be a crypto-Catholic during his first campaign for the Prime Executure, which was denied by his press chief. | |||
