The Left Liberal Rally (French reformed: Rassemblement gauche libérale), abbreviated LLR (RGL), is a Gylian political party, part of the Liberal Union bloc.

History

The Left Liberal Party was formed in 1960, as part of a process of de-factionalisation and reorganisation triggered by the Law on Electoral Representation of 1960. Its founding members were largely from the left-wing faction of the National Unity Party and National Liberal Party.

It joined the Liberal Union, and formally became part of the Darnan Cyras government after the 1962 federal election. In the cabinet, they were represented by energy minister Jurō Tatewaki and trade minister Sytepan Andriaḑe, both left liberals who joined the party after its formation.

During the wretched decade, it was part of the LU strongly opposed to a rapprochement with the Centre Group and National Bloc, in contrast with the NUP and NLP's greater openness towards the option. The grand coalition only came to fruition after the Ossorian war crisis of 1986, under Filomena Pinheiro.

The LLR gained a leading coalition role in Mathilde Vieira's "plural coalition". The alliance with the Progressive Alliance was reconstructed under Kaori Kawashima, and the LU subsequently returned to its junior partner role in the Toni Vallas government, before moving to opposition in 2020.

Ideology

The LLR represents the liberal socialist current of the LU, advocating direct democracy and a socialised economy.

Symbols

The LLR uses the colour dark yellow as its official colour.
