The '''Radical''' party ({{wpl|Western Frisian language|Dellish}}: ''Radikaal'') is a {{wpl|Regionalism (politics)|regionalist}} [[List of political parties in Alsland|political party in Alsland]]. The party sits primarily on the {{wpl|Centre-right politics|centre-right}} although it has an active {{wpl|Centrism|centrist}} faction.

The '''Radicals''' ({{wpl|Western Frisian language|Dellish}}: ''Radikaalen'', {{wpl|Estonian language|Martish}}: ''Radikaalid''), officially known as the '''Radical Movement''' (''Radikale Beweging,'' ''Radikaalne Liikumine''), is a {{wpl|Liberalism|liberal}} [[List of political parties in Alsland|political party in Alsland]].  


Radical was founded in 1968 by [[Alsland|Ernst Taussig]] and [[Rykwyn van der Hoek]], two senators from Wottested representing the liberal [[List of political parties in Alsland|Free-thinking People's Party]] after it was dissolved into smaller parties. In the same year Van der Hoek was elected as [[President of Alsland]]. The party in it's first years was one of two liberal parties in Delland, the other being the [[Liveable Delland|Free-thinking People's Party of Delland]]. Ideologically Radical was more conservative than the Free-thinking People's Party which was openly progressive. In 1974, the party won the most seats in the [[Folkssenaat]] and formed a liberal coalition with Van der Hoek as Premier. Van der Hoek - alongside the rest of the government - resigned on 27 May 1977 over their handling of the [[1976 Jõgeru massacre]]. The party was then dissolved in 1978.
The party was founded as a merger between [[Together for Alsland]] Coalition and the [[Urjo Eenpalu|Eenpalu Network]] announced on the 5 November 2022. The merger was motivated to increase Together for Alsland's speaking time in the [[Folkssenaat]] which was limited due to its status as a coalition of parties. The party endorsed [[Georg Torleif Årbakke|Georg Årbakke]] ahead of the [[2022 Euclean presidential election]] which was held on the same day in Alsland as its founding. The party's incumbent leader is [[Ydo Pasma]]. In 2023 the party won 24.6% of the vote at the [[2023 Yndyk general election]] winning a plurality in the regional Senate and its candidate [[Ydo Pasma]] was elected [[Yndyk|Premier of Yndyk]]. The party identifies as {{wpl|Centrism|centrist}} and opposes the system of [[Pillarisation in Alsland]]. It is a member of the [[Forward Euclea]] in the [[Euclean Parliament]]. The party's stated aim is to ensure "freedom, responsibility, community spirit, tolerance and equality of opportunity" remain a key part of Alsland's national character. The party takes a {{wpl|Social liberalism|social liberal}} stance on social issues, it supports [[LGBT rights in Alsland|LGBTQ+ rights]], {{wpl|Secularity|secularism}}, {{wpl|Gender equality|gender equality}} and is outspoken on the party's environmentalist beliefs.

The party takes a socially {{wpl|Progressivism|progressive}} stance particularly on [[LGBT rights in Alsland|LGBTQ+ rights]], {{wpl|Gender equality|gender equality}} and {{wpl|Civil rights|civil rights}}. It supports constitutionally enshrining same-sex marriage, gender equality and gender self-identification into the constitution as well as criminalising racism, sexism and homophobia. Under [[Kairi Sokk]] the party took a {{wpl|Social liberalism|social liberal}} position and is in favour of legalising {{wpl|Euthanasia|euthanasia}} and {{wpl|Assisted suicide|assisted suicide}} whilst also increasing palliative care for the terminally ill in society. It is in favour of making {{wpl|Latvian Sign Language|Valduvian Sign Language}}, the most widely used sign language in Alsland, an official language and supports adding it to the national school curriculum. The Radicals are strong advocates for making Alsland carbon-neutral by 2033 and have called this their top priority in government. They are supportive of increasing the role of companies in Alslandic economic policy whilst also influencing large companies to transition to become carbon neutral in Alsland.  


The party was re-founded in 1985 by Taussig who was serving as [[Wottested|Minister-President of Wottested]]. The party found success at the local level in the [[Wottested|Wottesteder Assembly]] and it has been the largest party in the assembly since 1985 and every Minister-President of Wottested since then has been a member of the party. The party's current leader is [[Ryk Monteverde]] who is also the incumbent Minister-President of Wottested. It is one of two Wottested only parties, the other being [[Yes Wottested]] (JAWO).
The party supports drastic political reforms including rewriting the Constitution to be more modern, introducing legally binding citizens initiatives and recall elections for elected officials. It also supports reducing the voting age to 15, legalising {{wpl|Prostitution|prostitution}} and {{wpl|Marijuana|marijuana}} to provide an alternative form of income for the government. In 2023, [[Ydo Pasma]] told supporters that "a vote for the Radicals is a vote for legal weed".
