Union of Patriots (abbr. UP) was a political party in South Africa.
History
The Nationalist Union was a political party in South Africa, founded on Day 1334 (16 July 2011) by the new party president, Lev Hilaciam. The Nationalist Union succeeds the Constitutional Equality Party. The Nationalist Union espouses a pro-security agenda with a focus on foreign policy and immigration. Party went through some considerable changes on day 1458 when Enriche2Ribeiro and Wilpanzer1 revived it as the new party Union of Patriots.
The party was 8 members strong with only 2 active members and a few PTO'ers. Day 1469 marked 31 members in the party. A dramatic increase of about 287%. However, UP still faced a lot of challenges including that of eliminating PTO'ers in its ranks and making a positive, constructive influence on eSA. The year 2012 brought a lot of ups and downs to UP. It lost many of its multis and PTO'ers, but it also lost a great part of its core leadership. A drought period of 3 months started mid-year when numbers dwindled. One of UP's notable leaders during this period was Alfredo the Sauce. Alfredo kept the party together for a long time. The numbers increased again after the drought period, but a series of CP losses started.
Manifesto
UP believes in putting South Africa (eSA) first. A strong domestic policy coupled with strict and well-planned foreign policy makes UP a party that can ensure the development of both individuality and that of a whole nation. We believe in giving everyone a chance. The people are the bloodline of the nation, without low-levellers and veterans alike, our country would be weak.
- Domestic Policy
UP consists of citizens who are passionate about helping new people. We believe that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and that's why we strive to accommodate anyone in need of supplies or help. We believe that domestic policy should take just as much priority as Security and Defense and that for the country to develop, a variety of leadership is needed in the cabinet and Congress. In the end UP is less a representative of the people, UP is the people.
- Foreign Policy
UP is determined to establish solid relations with other countries. We believe not only in reviving relations but also in building new ones. UP also believes in helping immigrants with sincere agendas acquire citizenship to increase our manpower.
- Security
UP believes in giving everyone a chance, but we realize that we need to safeguard our borders against those who wish to use cowardice to destroy our country. We therefore invest a lot of time and effort in watching and preventing untrusted people from hurting our country.
