Bunic United Party

The Bunic United Party (abbreviated as BUP, Chinese: 布尼奇联合党, pinyin: Bùníqí Liánhédǎng, Indonesian: Bunic Partai Persatuan) is a minor centre-right and populist political party in Craftia. It was formed in 2070 by billionaire businessman Dan Bunic, who is the current leader. The party was established as a populist and anti-establishment party in response to Bunic's expulsion from the Craftian Conservative Party in relation to his alleged tax evasion. The party's best result was in the 2067 federal election where it gained 0.38% of the national vote. Bunic contested and lost by 18 votes in the two-party-preferred result in the seat of Wilson in Jebsten, an electorate that regularly elects the Craftian Reform Party, a similar centre-right populist party.

The Bunic United Party's peak was the 2067 election, where candidates were fielded in every House of Representatives seat and in every state for the Senate. Chee Chung Chan won the sixth Senate seat in the Southern Region Senate electorate. Immediately after the election many party members resigned and defected to the Reform Party in protest of Bunic's handling of his mining company, Mineapolis, as well as the party. For the 2070 election the Bunic United Party only ran in the seat of Wilson (with Bunic himself declaring he would not run) and skipped the Senate altogether. It gained just 149 votes compared to 49,820 in the previous election. Bunic has announced he will run in Wilson for the upcoming 2073 federal election. Senator Chan's six-year term will end in the same year, requiring him to recontest his Senate seat.
