Political/Campaign History: Born in Flåleandshem as the son of Nentsian immigrants, Anders Kohout grew up in a working family, continuing and completing his Bachelors in engineering despite taking a job full-time to support his mother after the death of his father. Moving to Gainsborough after graduation, the young Kohout eventually grew tired of "shitty uncontested candidates," running for and earning two terms as mayor of the city before landing a seat in the Federal Assembly following the 1574 elections.
In 1580, Kohout was elected President of Nyland as a member of the Liberalists. He defeated the previous president Morgen on the back of his "new liberalist" campaign, seeking to change Nylands right.
Once in office, however, it became clear that "Nyland's right" would fight back, and fight back they did. Opposed by the controversial Karllson Caucus, Kohouts legislative agenda continued, time and time again, to be defeated despite having the votes to succeed. This led to Kohouts eventual leaving of the NL. This remains a controversial event in its own right, as a President has never actually left their party while in office. Around the same time a group of MPs from various parties had formed their own party, the Moderate Coalition of Nyland. Kohout, after much deliberation, decided they best aligned with his ideals and joined on the assumption he would run on their ticket for President.
This brings us to today. For the first time in Nylands history, an incumbent President will be running for a different party.
Platform:
The platform decided by the Moderates involves two pillars: progress and cooperation.
Progress is defined in this case as forward motion. Progress for the Moderates involves slight but key tax reforms. They wish to adjust the personal tax rates to help take the burden off of individuals. Furthermore, they wish to ensure certain key items are removed from the VAT. These items include medical supplies and hygiene products. These tax reforms are small but will have great effects on the average Nylander.
The Moderates also want to do serious work on health care reform. The current healthcare system is not working for Nylanders. The exact status of this reform is to be determined. The party has not yet decided, but they will make healthcare reform a serious goal for the upcoming term.
The Moderates are interested in common sense foreign policy that remembers Nyland's important role in the world without becoming an overbearing player on the global stage. Nyland has a role as chief defender of democracy and Nylander values abroad and should never shy away from defending the helpless from monstrous acts. Kohout also wishes for Nyland to establish a new organization for Skathian cooperation.
Cooperation is key as a retaliation to the problems of the previous term. The previous Kohout term was hindered by divisiveness and an inability to cooperate. The Moderates seek to work with all MPs to establish positive change for all Nylanders. They do have goals but are willing to compromise with other parties who seek positive change.
