Conservative Republican Party (Zardugal)

The Conservative Republican Party (CRP) was the main centre-right political party in Zardugal from 3317-3421 and briefly again from 3469-3474 after a period of inactivity. The party was a prominent part of Zardic politics and often at logger heads with other parties, especially on social issues. The legacy of the party is much debated and remains divisive to this day.

History
The CRP was founded in 3317 after decades in Zardugal without a credible centre-right/conservative party. For 3 years and 2 elections it didnt get much traction but party founder and perenial presidential candiate Jacob Wiencek went on a media and campaign blitz in 3320 and when the ruling Federalist Party called snap elections it won its first majority government in 3320 carrying all states except Unkassa. To this day it ranks as one of the partys most stunning successes ever. Over the next 3 years President Wiencek and Harold Macmillan, the Prime Minister and one of the founders of the party ran the government in an unapologetic way. New conservative laws were passed at record rates and a top down overhaul of the government began.

However because of their divisive style the CRP lost its congressional majorities in the 3323 elections and suffered heavy state losses. For the rest of the 3320's a sort of institutional political chaos resulted with virtually no government after the first CRP government served a full term in office. For most of the 3320's the CRP was out of the majority in Congress however Jacob Wiencek came back and won the presidency in the 3327 and 3329 but lost it in the December 3329 snap elections which were won by the New Democratic Party candidate Karen Sosa which signalled a decade of NDP dominated government.
