The Justice Party, also known as the Traditionalist Party, was a center to center-right political party. It was founded as a merger between the Monarchist Party and the Catholic Independent Grouping.

Party History

In March of 2018, System and Gestapo Brain attempted to start a new party based on Catholic teachings ahead of the April midterm elections. Eventually, the Monarchist Party agreed to merge into the fledgling and party and it was renamed the Traditionalist Party. Certain elements that System wanted to be present in the Catholic Party were subsequently dropped, such as a model papacy, right-wing tax reform, and so-called "economic nationalism". As the party approached the required number of members to be recognized, it moved further to the center and rebranded as the Justice Party to appeal to a broader base of people; it was at this time that System and some of his followers left the party over a dispute concerning the platform and the perceived alienation of the party's right wing. Not long after this controversy, the party met all of the requirements for recognition.

Party Structure

As a result of the merger with the Monarchist Party, the Justice Party had two co-chairs who are responsible for running the day-to-day activities of the party. Additionally, the party had a Deputy Chair who was responsible for outreach and advertisement.

Collapse

Following the creation of the Popular Front and Poke's May Day affair, two of the senior members of the party, Ow and Gestapo Brain, left. This led to the party losing its ability to function as many other members decided to leave as well. On May 27, 2018, the Justice Party merged with the Republican Party after a long period of inactivity.
