Reformed Political Party

Formation
In 2312 the Catholic population of Kirlawa found representation in the Veritan Catholic Church, a Party dedicated to representing its community, and defending Catholic social values in Kirlawa. Political commentators were surprised by the rise of such a Party in the largely secular Kirlawa, however were even more shocked by the breakdown of electoral support, which appeared to indiciate that even some Protestant communities had been willing to vote for the pro-Christian agenda of the VCC. With the continued success of the VCC in the general election of 2314, several Protestant organisations moved to create a political party that would represent their community, and defend the various Protestant sects from anti-religious sentiments. Thus on the First of January 2315, the Reformed Political Party was formed, with 75 delegates from across Kirlawa, representing the main Protestant denominations, electing Pastor Jan Kees as their leader.

Organisation
The highest organ of the RPP is the congress, it is formed by delegates from the municipal branches. It convenes once every year and appoints the party board. The Party Board is responsible for overseeing the running of the Party, and also the formulation of policy. The party has 245 municipal branches and slightly over 300,000 members and has a provincial federation in each province.

The Party also contests elections at the regional level, however only in Nuchtmark do they currently have any strength, here they are the third largest Party, and contest elections under the name of Evangelical Peoples Party. In other region the local Party is known as either the Reformed Party, or Christian Union.

Leadership
The RPP is run by the Board, however it's deputies within the House of Representatives are led by the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Party, who is currently Jan Kees. He is the most influential member of the Party and often the main media contact, being the main spokesman of the party in and out of the House of Representatives. In the election of 2315, the RPP also ran a candidate for the Head of State, however the Board at the meeting of the Party Congress in 2316 decided that they would not do this again, preferring to run purely in the legislative and regional elections.
