The Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance is a political coordination platform established in 2022 to support and facilitate collaboration among independent and non-aligned members of parliament across the Empire of Great Britain. Unlike conventional political parties, the CNAA does not have a binding manifesto, a party whip system, or a designated candidate for prime minister or executive office. Members of the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance refer to themselves as Independents.

Background

The Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance was founded on 13 February 2022 by Charles Wright, the Viscount Kirkwall, shortly after his arrival in the Empire of Great Britain. From the outset, the CNAA was conceived not as a traditional political party, but as a cooperative platform designed to support and coordinate independent and non-aligned representatives across the Commonwealth. Its purpose was to facilitate collaboration on shared issues without imposing a binding manifesto, party whip, or ideological line.

Although Wright was legally permitted to register the Alliance, electoral law at the time barred him from standing as a candidate on its behalf due to age restrictions. As a result, while he assumed the role of Chairman of the CNAA as a Lord of Parliament, active leadership in the House of Commons during the 17th Sessions of Parliament was undertaken by his brother, Andrew Wright, the Viscount Islington. In the 18th Session of Parliament, the CNNA secured three seats in the House of Commons, the best result of the party in a general election. However, during the 19th Session of Parliament, the CNAA was merged into the Democratic Unionist Party after it failed to secure any seats in the House of Commons.

The CNAA was refounded on 7 May 2025 by Charles Wright following his tenure as appointed independent Prime Minister, during which he led a Governemt led by independents. In the subsequent general election, the independents who partook in his Government supported James Forsyte, the Duke of Warwick, as Prime Minister-Designate. Following the formation of the Warwick Premiership, Wright formally reestablished the CNAA as an independent platform, recognizing the new position of independents in the political landscape. However, in keeping with its foundational principles, the CNAA did not associate itself with the Government and continues to operate as a neutral convenor for independent voices in Parliament. During this 39th Session of Parliament, four independents, including Prime Minister James Forsyte, The Duke of Warwick joined the CNAA upon its reestablishment.

History

17th Session of Parliament

During the 17th Session of Parliament, the CNAA made its initial electoral debut. Charles Wright, the Viscount Kirkwall initially intended to run for a seat in the House of Commons. However, due to age-related restrictions, Charles Wright was ineligible to run, having only recently joined the Empire of Great Britain. Consequently, he was appointed to the House of Lords and assumed the role of Chairman of the CNAA. However, despite not fielding any candidates, the CNAA gained a seat in the House of Commons once Andrew Wright, the Viscount Islington, who stood as a candidate of theSocial-Democratic and Labor Party, was successfully elected to the Commons and crossed the aile to the CNNA shortly after the election.

Despite being the only member of the CNAA in the House of Commons and the only Member of Parliament not affiliated with the British Workers' Party, Andrew Wright was elected Speaker of the House of Commons.

18th Session of Parliament

During the 18th Session of Parliament, Charles Wright, the Viscount Kirkwall, was eligible to stand for election to the House of Commons for the first time. He launched his campaign under the slogan, "Green suits me better than red", a wordplay on his desire to leave the House of Lords and run for a seat in the House of Commons. This marked a significant moment for the CNAA as it made its move to contest seats in the House of Commons for the first time.

In the April 2022 General Election, four independent candidates ran under the CNAA banner, a significant increase from the previous election. The candidates included Charles Wright, the Viscount Kirkwall, Andrew Wright, the Viscount Islington, Jeeve Sal Alhohim, and Harsh Tripathi. Of these, three candidates were successfully elected to the House of Commons: Charles Wright, the Viscount Kirkwall, Andrew Wright, the Viscount Islington, and Jeeve Sal Alhohim. Harsh Tripathi was unable to secure a seat.

Despite the CNAA’s success in expanding its representation, the British Workers' Party once again dominated the election, securing all four of the remaining seats in the House of Commons. In the aftermath of the election, the CNAA entered into coalition talks with the British Workers' Party, resulting in the formation of a unity coalition. As part of the agreement, the CNAA gained several important positions within the government. Charles Wright, the Viscount Kirkwall, was elected Speaker of the House of Commons. Additionally, the CNAA was granted key governmental portfolios, including Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary, Attorney General, and HM Special Advisor. This marked the CNAA’s first time in government, as it negotiated an even distribution of portfolios within the Hastings Premiership.
