No. They are a right-wing party. Their platform is based on keeping the ties between the NMIs and the mainland loose, a "covenant," so that sweat shops can keep operating.

Wikipedia states that the party's "platform advocates government and financial reform". I'm unsure if this is still accurate or correct. The party is a breakaway from the Republicans though. Of the current parties in the Commonwealth, the Republicans are the only ones with mainland ties. They linked up with the RNC after the 04 elections. They had a primary last year and delegates in St. Paul. A candidate for the Reform party ran in the 2001 elections for Governor and got 11%. The party is/was linked to the American Reform Party, not the one founded by Perot. I hope this helps. Vaughn,

I can't find too much about them other than that they seem most similar to the Greens. Does the Covenant Party have any ‘main land’ affiliation?
