The list was originally called "Government Critics Front" (Persian: جبهه منتقدین دولت), as their stance was against Ahmadinejad Government for 2012 election. It was later renamed to Voice of Nation.[1]
The group is self-proclaimed principlist, as it states in a statement published February 2012 it is "proud to be affiliated with the principlism, although we are critical of some principlists".[1] It has been described as "a slate of moderate conservatives"[3] and "a moderate conservative tendency which includes dissident deputies campaigning on a more reformist platform, stressing the rights of the people and freedom of speech within the constitution".[2] According to Anoushiravan Ehteshami, the group is a "parliamentary list of middle-of-the-road conservatives... which tried to form a bridge between the two poles [i.e. Reformists and Principlists]".[5]
The group's leader, Ali Motahari believes that there are shortcomings in both principlist and reformist camps and has called for the removal of the "artificial wall" between the two.[3]
Their lists features a combination of reformist and principlist candidates.[6]
The group has been a supporter of Government of Hassan Rouhani and the nuclear talks.[6]
