Democratic Reform Party

The Democratic Reform Party is a political party in the Free Union of Kirlawa. They broadly advocate a Christian democratic stance, and are led by André Rouvoet, formerly the leader of the Reformed Political Party. Until 2342 the DRP was a part of the RPP, but after a split changed its name. Support is largely derived from the Protestant community within Kirlawa, although the DRP is not as sectarian as the former RPP, and allows members of other faiths to join the party.

Representation
As of June 2344, the Party was represented at local and national level within the Free Union of Kirlawa. They contested the October 2341 elections as the Reformed Political Party, winning five seats in the House of Representatives and on Senator. However in the fall of 2342, three of their Representatives left the party to join the Artanian Socialists. The remaining members together formed the Democratic Reform Party.

At local elections the party currently controls four councils, all within the Bible Belt. Their 355 councillors have a broader representation across the country, but again are largely concentrated in the Bible Belt.

Future
With the prospect of Union between Dorvish-Uwakah and the Free Union of Kirlawa, members of the DRP have suggested that they may unite with the Uwakan Block in an effort to rebuild the old Reformed Political Party, or perhaps even to unite as a new centre-right Conservative Party. With the virtual extinction of the Artanian Socialists in Dorvish-Uwakah, it is also possible that the Artanian Socialists and the DRP may heal their differences have realign once more.
