The '''Free Economy Party''' ({{wpl|French language|French}} [[Gylian languages reform of 1958–1959#French|reformed]]: ''Parti pour l'économie libre''), abbreviated '''FEP''' (''PEL''), is a [[List of political parties in Gylias|Gylian political party]], part of the {{G-UFP}} bloc.

==History==
The Free Economy Party was founded in 1969, after the [[Conservatism in Gylias#Free Territories|"constructive"–"recalcitrant" battle]] within [[Conservatism in Gylias|Gylian conservatism]] ended with a "constructive" victory and the destruction of the {{G-CC}}. 

It formed an alignment with several new centre-right parties that were established in the wake of the {{G-CNP}}, which became the {{G-NB}}.

Initially, the party was mildly {{wpl|economic liberalism|economically liberal}}, supporting a [[Political culture of Gylias#The market's role|greater role for markets]] and a {{wpl|social market economy}} based on [[Economy of Gylias#Cooperatives|cooperatives]]. However, during the [[wretched decade]], it increasingly hardened its stance and moved towards [[Populism in Gylias#Right-wing populism|right-wing populists]], creating a rift with the traditional [[Conservatism in Gylias#Hannaism|Hannaist]] parties of the NB. [[Lea Kersed]]'s death and the ''[[dérive au droite]]'' exposed these tensions, and the party split from the NB in 1989 to establish the {{G-UFP}}.

The party suffered at the [[Gylian federal election, 1990|1990 federal election]] due to fallout from the ''[[dérive au droite]]'' and [[neoliberal conspiracy]], and has since remained a marginal presence in Gylian politics.

==Ideology==
The FEP represents the {{wpl|Economic liberalism|economically liberal}} formation of the UFP.

==Symbols==
The FEP uses a dark shade of blue as its official colour.
