Caledonia Together (French: Calédonie ensemble) is a political party in New Caledonia. The party was established on 14 October 2008 as a split from Future Together led by Philippe Gomès.[2] The party is centrist and opposed to independence.[3][4]

New Caledonia's 2nd constituency. Poor results in the 2008 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 the 2014 provincial elections, the party placed first, along with the other 2 anti-independence parties winning 29 of 54 seats in congress, 13 of which for Caledonia Together.[5][6]
