Rally & Issues (French : Rassemblement & Enjeux ) was a conservative [ 1] political party in the Principality of Monaco . The party was the main party in the coalition Horizon Monaco after the 2013 Monegasque general election .
History
The party was established as the National and Democratic Union (Union Nationale et Démocratique ) in 1962 by a merger of the National Union of Independents and the National Democratic Entente ,[ 2] who between them held all 18 seats in the National Council .[ 3] The new party won 17 of the 18 seats in the 1963 elections , and all 18 in the 1968 elections . It was reduced to 16 seats in 1973 as two opposition parties won seats, but won every seat again in the 1978 , 1983 and 1988 elections .
In the 1993 elections it lost three seats, but retained a large majority. It won all 18 seats again in 1998 , but the 2003 elections saw it win just three seats as it was defeated by the Union for Monaco alliance. It changed its name to Rally & Issues prior to the 2008 elections, and incorporated the Rally for Monaco as well as Values and Issues.
