The Knootoss Elvish Party (KEP) is an 'Elvish' special interest party which used to have broad support amongst the elvish population segment, taking generally pro-capitalist and pro-Menelmacari policy stances. As such, it was a factor in Knootian politics that was to be reckoned with. However, the rise of Galadriël Táralóm nos Círdan Galadriël as head of the conservative RCPK slashed away their voter base and after the last election only one seat remains for this party that once made or broke conservative coalitions
