At a meeting in Moscow on Sunday, leaders of the Right Cause Party say they aim to win seats in the 2011 parliamentary election.

Their slogan is "Freedom, property, order." The party is an amalgamation of the opposition Union of Right Forces with the broadly pro-Kremlin Democratic Party and Civic Force.
