Party of the Pragmatic Progressives

The Party of the Pragmatic Progressives (PoPP) aligns itself with progressive values and fundamentally believes in policy discussions based on realistic solutions. Members of the Party share the ultimate goals of progressive ideals but strive to reach these aspirations through multi-partisan coalitions. Members of the Party believe this can be best achieved through creativity, critical inquiry, data collection, and soundproof lines of reasoning.

Conservative Party

The Conservative Party aligns itself with conservative principles, ideas, and values. Our group broadly believes that individual and societal freedom works best when paired with responsibility. We welcome change and progress, but believe that it should be deliberate and well considered rather than impulsive. We believe that institutions deserve both respect and careful leadership. We believe in the value of national sovereignty, defending free speech, and that stability and order are essential for a flourishing society. 

Chairs: Shoshana Kleiner and Lexie Cohen
