Political parties

The Radical party (Dellish: Radikaal) is a regionalist political party in Alsland. The party sits primarily on the centre-right although it has an active centrist faction. It is a member of the Euclean Liberal Party and Forward Euclea group in the Euclean Parliament despite never having an elected MEP.

Radical was founded in 1968 by Ernst Taussig and Rykwyn van der Hoek, two senators from Wottested representing the liberal 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 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 re-founded in 1985 by Taussig who was serving as Minister-President of Wottested. The party found success at the local level in the 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).
