Amid the increasing polarisation of the Hong Kong politics after the 2014 Occupy protests and amid the 2019 anti-extradition protests, three moderate pro-Beijing figures "3JT", former Liberal Party leader James Tien who lost his seat on the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) because he asked for Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to step down, former Financial Secretary John Tsang who failed to gain the Beijing government's support and lost to Carrie Lam in the 2017 Chief Executive election, and former Legislative Council President Jasper Tsang, explored the idea of forming a "middle-of-the road" political group.

[2] Jasper Tsang did not join the group as he was still the member of the pro-Beijing Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB).

[3] Former policy director of the New People's Party Derek Yuen and former chief manager of the China Technology Corporation Jason Poon were reportedly supported by the group to run in the 2020 Legislative Council election.

However, the 2020 election was delayed for a year by the authorities, followed by the overhaul of electoral system imposed by the Chinese Government in 2021.

The group is regarded as "dead" as Tien said the new political situation no longer requires "key minority", the main feature of the party.
