The Phillip National Front (PNF) was a short-lived political party in the Republic of Phillip. It was established by Cooper Norfolk in early February 2023 in response to a political dispute between him and Vice President Luke Fitzgibbins. VP Fitzgibbins had been attempting to pass a bill that would restrict suffrage for citizens older than twenty. He believed that it was unfair for citizens with families running for public offices to get their family to vote for them, as it would greatly affect the outcome of the election.[1] Norfolk was vehemently against this bill, which is why he established the PNF. The party identified as centered-right because of their nationalist viewpoints. The main goal of the party was to protect suffrage of Phillip's citizens.

History
Foundation and Controversy
The Phillip National Front was established on the 4th of February in response to Vice President Luke Fitzgibbins' persistent campaign to pass his "Family Voting Bill". Party Chairman Cooper Norfolk immediately struck an agreement with members of his party in the National Assembly to vote how he told them to, essentially giving him power over five seats. In response to this, members of President Jaxson Renny's government began threatening various lawsuits and even a civil war against the party.[2] The party would continue to block bills put into the Assembly written by Vice President Fitzgibbins.
There were multiple attempts to undermine the party throughout its history. Reportedly, Vice President Fitzgibbins attempted multiple times to persuade Assembly Representative Iyan Seeker to betray the party. Vice President Fitzgibbins eventually tried to reason with the PNF by allowing Rep. Seeker's mother to vote, but he was still denied.
Norfolk-Fitzgibbins Agreement and Disbandment
After Vice President Fitzgibbins announced that he would be putting his efforts to restrict suffrage on hold in order to work on other things in Phillip, Chairman Norfolk decided to present him with a deal. In return for a promise from Fitzgibbins and the Butter Butta Bentley Party to not introduce or support legislation restricting suffrage for citizens above the age of twenty, he would disband the PNF and remain an Independent politician.[3] On the 13th of February, both sides met and signed the "Norfolk-Fitzgibbins Agreement", officially ending the PNF and its power over the Assembly.
