Together for Alsland (Dellish: Tegearre foar Aalslân, Weranian: Gemeinsam für Aalsland, Swathish: Gẹdor for Ẹlsland, Kirenian: Koos Elsmaa eest, TFA), often shortened to Together, is an Alslandic political party.
Ideologically the party has positioned itself as a centrist political party and has been described as populist by some media sources. The party was founded on 26 July 2022 ahead of the 2022 Alslandic legislative election by politicians from the Green - Alternative Choice and Progressive Alliance who were opposed to the cabinet's response to the SYFA spying scandal. They were joined initially by 6 Senators and 1 MEP. The party's rapid growth in support ahead of the election led to the party's officials to select Kairi Sokk as the party's candidate for Premier. It formed a joint list with VOX Alsland, Future.as and Alsland 21 ahead of the election. It's main policies include protecting the environment, government accountability, holding a constitutional convention to write a new constitution and opposing Dellish independence.
History
The party was founded on 26 July 2022 by a group of defectors from the Green - Alternative Choice: Kairi Sokk, Sjoek Wijma, Griġm Holt and Ajolt Glas who left the Green - Alternative Choice to oppose the party's defence of the government during the SYFA spying scandal. At their founding press conference Sokk stated the party's main goals were to oppose the current government, push for government accountability and transparency, support a new constitutional convention and oppose the Dellish independence movement by giving Communities more say in the running of the Federal government. They were soon joined by Green MEP Jannik Boeckmann and 2 former Progressive Alliance Senators. Jannik Boeckmann became a member of the Forward Euclea political group in the Euclean Parliament after the party's founding.
The announcement of the new party was welcomed amongst dissatisfied Alslandic voters who began supporting the party en-masse, within weeks of it's founding it led opinion polls. The party adopted a populist campaign strategy, after Sokk was not invited to a climate change debate on ANS the party held a simultaneous online question and answer session which reportedly had more viewers than the climate change debate according to Alsland's media regulator body.
Platform
Together for Alsland claims to be a centrist, anti-establishment, envrionmentalist, Pro-Euclean political movement. The party's 2022 manifesto commits the party to pursue government, social and economic reforms if elected including digitalising the government, closing Alsland's nuclear power plants, creating an independent elected body to draft a new constitution and to equalise Alsland's regions and end the transfer of taxes between communities. The party is considered to be a member of the Future politics movement due to it's affiliation with Future.as. The party's chairwoman Kairi Sokk claims the current Alslandic constitution fuels division and wants to replace the offices of Premier of Alsland and President of Alsland with an elected directorial position comprising of representatives from each Community of Alsland. The party also wants to cut the number of Senators from 201 to 132 whilst also introducing more forms of direct democracy and e-democracy. The party wants to encourage investment in technology start-ups, it also plans to dramatically increase Alsland's science funding and also create more technology schools to make the country a regional leader in technological innovation. It also supports establishing term limits of 8 years for Senators.
