TPTTAA Poll - Would you support a united Conservative party?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     In what sense? If such a party existed I would wholeheartedly support it, but I would be strongly opposed to the RPP & POP merging. IRV & STV mean that the division has no real electoral effect & this division is the main thing (as slight as it may be) that is currently saving Atlasia from duopolistic hell.

IRV/STV regardless, I think a united party would allow conservatives to take control of Atlasia for the first time since it's creation, and to start to implement changes that have never been thought of before and thus, get the game moving once more.

I don't know if the parties should "merge" per se, but if we cannot get the support of the clear majority from both parties, creating a new party will only serve to divide us, not unite us. If you understand what I'm saying.
Also, I've edited the first post to include my basic proposal.

     One capital idea to get Atlasia moving would be to contest every Senatorial & Gubernatorial race. The RPP once attempted that, but it was ultimately derailed for reasons that I do not recall.

As a political moderate, I would support a radical restructuring that involved the merging of the conservative elements amongst the Populares and Regional Protection Party while the moderates of those two parties and the JCP formed a third party.  In practice, keep it as is.  Three parties are more interesting as two and neither party is hurt by the existence of a second conservative party so long as they agree to always second preference the other party's candidate.

     Though liberal vs. moderate vs. conservative is a pretty thoroughly tried breakdown that has consistently led to really boring elections, since the liberals & conservatives will both clearly prefer the moderates to each other & a moderate declaring for any office usually managed to avoid having any opponents. One party breakdown that could be very interesting would be liberals vs. populists vs. conservatives vs. libertarians.

The problem is we only have a handful of social cons that would want to run for office.

     Yeah, that's the issue. There isn't really enough populists to sustain a remotely competitive party on their own.
