Caledonia Together (French:Calédonie ensemble) is apolitical party in New Caledonia. The party was established on 14 October 2008 as a split fromFuture Together led byPhilippe Gomès.[2] The party iscentrist and opposed to independence.[3][4]
Future Together, a centrist party founded in 2004, split in 2008.[citation needed] The split started in the2007 legislative election, when Gomès ran inNew Caledonia's 1st constituency although Didier Leroux was supposed to run. Though both ran, and both polled 14%, respectively third and fourth, leaving the RPCR candidateGaël Yanno against the candidate of the nationalistKanak and Socialist National Liberation Front (FLINKS), which Yanno easily defeated. Martin was also defeated running theNew Caledonia's 2nd constituency. Poor results in the2008 local elections, including the capital,Nouméa, precipitated an open split between Gomès on one side and Martin-Leroux on the other. In 2008, Gomès and 12 Future Together Congressmen and women (including Thémereau) formed Caledonia Together.
In the2014 provincial elections, the party placed first, along with the other 2 anti-independence parties winning 29 of 54 seats incongress, 13 of which for Caledonia Together.[5][6]
