The Radical Liberal Party is a Gandaran liberal political party. The RLP is the strongest supporter of both free market economic policies and feminist social policies in Gandara. It is also a staunch defender of the secular state, contesing any involvement between religion and politics and insisting on the full application of the law with regard to cults or fundamentalist religious communities whose activities infringe on the legal right of individual to bodily integrity, personal autonomy and security of person and property.
Party history
The Radical Liberal Party has a very short history, dating only from the independence of Gandara in 2006. The party was formed by a group of prominent Gandaran liberals (including Emma Young, the party's leader) in time to contest the first Gandaran parliamentary elections. In the 2006 elections, the party won 26 seats in the Gandaran Parliament. This made it the smallest of the three parties. After parliament convened, the Radical Liberals formed a coalition in opposition with the larger opposition party, the Popular Democratic Party. Emma Young was made Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Minister for Justice.
