The Union for a New Republic (French reformed: Union pour un nouvelle république), abbreviated UNR, is a Gylian political party, part of the Non-inscrits bloc.

It is a centre-right party advocating direct democracy, and is considered broadly conservative.

History

The UNR was founded in 1961, as part of a proliferation of new parties after electoral reform. In the context of the "constructive"–"recalcitrant" battle, it attracted a "constructive" constituency, giving it a broad centre-right profile.

It entered Parliament in the 1962 federal election; it won more seats than the competing Conservative Coalition, a significant source of pride. It then consolidated its general alignment with the centre-right, jointly nominating Ludmila Canaşvili for the 1968 presidential election with the Centre Group, and forming close relations with the National Bloc.

The UNR's fortunes have largely mirrored those of Gylian conservatism: it experienced a growth in support during the wretched decade, participating in the Filomena Pinheiro government, followed by a slight dip in support after the Union for Freedom and Prosperity split, and then a gradual recovery in the 2000s–2010s.

It joined the Lena Haidynraix government in 2020, its first coalition role since the wretched decade.

Ideology

The UNR is a big tent party based on direct democracy and participism. It mainly advocates expansion of direct democracy, participatory planning, and participatory budgeting.

Although broadly centre-right in orientation and aligned with the NB, it avoids referring to itself as conservative; its rhetoric instead emphasises its points of agreement with anarchism, reflecting its big tent character.

Symbols

The UNR uses a light shade of blue as its official colour.

Popular support

The UNR is generally a small presence in federal elections, with slightly better support locally. It is mainly perceived as a junior partner in the broader conservative bloc.
