Technocratic Alliance (Premysloides Dynasty)

History
One of younger, but strong and influental political alliances. Technocratic Alliance is not classical political party, but alliance of political parties with similar political goals across Roman Empire. Alliance was founded in 1767 by Arthur Ashford, son of first Lunar Colony governor Josiah Ashford.

Technocratic Alliance was composed of: These parties had similar agenda and was already for many decades in deep contacts and cooperation and so from 1767, they formed large coalition.
 * Imperial Progressive Party (right-wing progressives)
 * Industrial Party of Baltic Sea (industrialism)
 * Reform Party of Constantinople (liberal reformists)
 * Liberal Reformist Union of Hispania (republican-liberals)
 * New (Re)Start (digital e-democracy)
 * Technical Alliance (technocracy)
 * Party of Freedom (right libertarianism)
 * Progress Party of Rus (industrialism and localism)
 * Caucasian Alliance of Oil and Industry (industrialism)
 * Party of Germanic Progress (localism and reformism)
 * Party of Transhumanism (scientific progressivism)
 * Development and Industry Party (localism)

Ideology
Technocratic Alliance is alliance of parties supporting and advocating technocracy, scientific opinion and approach, liberal reformism, electronic democracy and technological development, they advocate decreasing taxation of technological sector, tax-free environment for new technological companies and "start-ups", improving position of scientific community in government institutes and societies.

They support deregulation and decrease dependency of science and research on state, but also on super-corporations like ITC or Imperial Arsenals.

They supported market meritocracy and written many manifests and articles criticizing private companies that promoting their employees on connections, include family connections, rather than on merits, loyalty and talent.

Alliance was very successfull in creating infrastructure and background for deep technological progress and implementing virtual and artificial intelligence to state administrative and private sector and led successfull campaigns for tax-free intranet and "tax holidays" for starting technological companies.

Some of parties had very localistic agenda. Progress Party of Rus was active in overcoming terrible and painful gaps between Imperial Province of Rus and other provinces and Progress Party of Rus was successfull in improving technological capabilities of Russian province.

Party of Germanic Progress succeed in rehabilitation and opening way for German-speaking scientists and scholars to imperial institutions (as German and French-speak territories had dark legacy of Saint Atlantis history).

Some factions of Alliance had more statist approach and called themselfs as "Imperial technocrats", supporters of imperial state stimulation of technological economy through ITC, Imperial Bank and state corporations.

Eugenics
More controversial situation was in case of campaign for abortion. Technocratic Alliance openly declared support for eugenics and free abortion and proposed implementing more direct approach of physicians to risk pregnancies. Alliance openly called woman with risk pregnancy to undergoes abortion, which was criticized by many parties and by Imperial Orthodox Church and Imperial Cult, but Technocrats were able to rally enough supporters to defend their position and not lossing popular support.

Androids
Similar controversial was campaign for "Android Rights". Development of "Emotion Architecture" in 1833, special artificial intelligence, allowed androids (already highly advanced 3rd Generation) to embrace emotions of all types. "Emotion Architecture" system was at first created for people suffering from loneliness and people who wanted human-like companions and system was very successfull, but very soon, "EmoArchs", as these androids were called, asked for their own rights.

This led to fierce clash with conservatives in all political parties and alliances and imperial prohibition of reproducing "Emotional Architecture". Technocratic Alliance was sole advocate of android rights.

In 1841, Empress Augusta ordered destruction of all "EmoArchs", but Technocratic Alliance organized rally in Alexandria with 5,000,000 demonstrants, include androids, demanding end of these actions.

In the end, both sides reached compromise. Empress Augusta recalled her order and accepted basic rights for existing androids, but also prohibit all 3rd Generation android production and so remained only production of "MilDroids" (military battle androids, 1st Generation) and "GenDroids" (general support androids, 2nd Generation). In Roman Empire remained population of about 10,000,000 EmoArchs, who outlived all their advocates (some of these androids ceased their own existence in solidarity with humans).
