Le Parti Libéral

e Parti Libéral (The Liberal Party) is a left-wing party in Rildanor which emerged in December 4118. It's founder and leader is Louis Legrand. It was established in opposition to the right-wing parties dominating the nation and as an alternative to more extreme left-wing parties.

Activism Group
Le Parti Libéral grew out of an abandoned left-wing activism group. While the group only had around 20 members, many members were initially very passionate.Dissatisfied with their progress, however, many members left and the group was eventually disbanded.

One man, Louis Legrand, however, wanted to continue their work and encouraged several other former members to join his newly founded party: le Parti Libéral.

Early Battles (Monarchy Debate)
As well as suggesting several minor bills, the party's first major battle was in it's opposition of Parti de l'Impératrice Noire (PIN)'s plan to establish a symbolic Monarchy. During the lengthy debate period, Louis and the party argued strongly against the suggestion, claiming it was "non-democratic", ran the risk of a "madman" getting into power, and provided "little to no benefits" for the nation. PIN's leader at the time, Claudette Auguste, argued it would bring 75 million Crowns in tourism to the economy, but le Parti Libéral dismissed this as a relatively small figure. Auguste also argued it would provide a sense of unity to the nation, but le Parti Libéral dismissed this as they had seen no evidence (i.e. polls) for this and said it would rather make the people feel "inferior".

During this period, Legrand also suggested that the proposed king was buying out PIN and hinted that Auguste may be corrupt. No evidence for this has been presented. Legrand argued the monarch should be appointed democratically if the bill passed.
