The Reform Block (Geatish: Reformblock; R), is a liberal political party in Eldmark. Founded in 1970 as an anti-war, pro-civil rights party, Reformblock has carried on the reputation as "the troublesome kingmakers" of parliamentary history in Eldmark. As of writing, the party holds the third largest amount of seats in the Riksdag, with 69 seats out of a possible 345, and is the second party of a coalition of parties that includes the AFP, Varldens Koalitionen, The Gahodi, and, controversially, the Eldmarsk Section of the Worker's Internationale.
Reform Block was founded out of the aftermath of the Elianoran Era of Eldmarsk politics, which saw a crackdown on anti-government activities and anything deemed "extremist," which to the government meant anti-war, anti-capitalist, or pro-minority right activities. While staunchy pro-civil rights, including LGBTQ+ rights, their stance on market economics is often mixed, with most policymakers in the government being ambivalent or mixed on the policies of the more economic-centric AFP. However, they are supportive of the AFP's climate initiatives. They are also famous for continually calling for election reform, including calling for ranked-choice voting.
