Les Renards

Les Renards "The Foxes" is a liberal and republican party in Royaume de Rildanor.

History
Founded in February 3936 in a cafe in Labonne, Tiralouse by Gideon Montreux, a TV producer and novelist, Fabian Lachance, a prominent Rildanorese journalist and Dr. Lucien Fontaine, a Professor of Public Policy at the University of Labonne.

The party fared poorly at the elections of 3936, as its recent foundation acted as a major barrier when it came to acquiring funds, candidates, press coverage and generally building a competitive ground game. Nonetheless, the party polled over 40,000 votes, the best of the minor parties. Over the next three years, the party gained momentum rapidly with a strong liberal, republican and anti aristocratic platform, including pushing for the economic liberalization of Rildanor's economy. in the 3939 election the party pulled off a shock success, pushing the Parti Nationaliste into third place both in the Senat and in the first round election for the King's representative in the Senat. In the second round, Les Renards leader Gideon Montreux was narrowly defeated by Nouvelle Aristocratie candidate Marie Hollande, Comtesse d'Edmond by 51%-48%.

In 3940, in an attempt to block Nouvelle Aristocratie from forming a government, negotiations were finalized on a four party coalition led by Les Renards. Dr. Lucien Fontaine was sworn in as Premier Ministre and the party took up a further four seats in the cabinet.
