The California National Party (CNP) is a political party in the state of California which has been described by California legislative historian Alex Vassar as "the biggest-promising political party you haven't heard of". It is currently chaired by Theo Slater. The party's primary goal is achieving California's independence from the United States of America. Their platform also includes a wide range of proposed reforms to taxation, banking, the electoral process, police departments, schools, and more. These proposals are generally left of center and reflect the party's "pragmatic progressive" ideology.
Official Status
The California National Party has applied for recognition as a political party in California. To gain that recognition the CNP must register about 50,000 Californian voters. This effort is ongoing.
