The Reformist Centre Party (French reformed: Parti réformiste d'centre), abbreviated RCP (PRC), is a Gylian political party, part of the Centre Group bloc.

History

The Reformist Centre Party was formed in 1960, as part of a process of de-factionalisation and reorganisation triggered by the Law on Electoral Representation of 1960. It joined the Centre Group.

The RCP was affected by the "constructive"–"recalcitrant" battle within Gylian conservatism. Many "constructives" joined it during the 1960s, causing it to lean centre-right. The establishment of the National Bloc in 1969 drew away most of the "constructives", allowing the RCP to reposition itself in the centre.

During the wretched decade, it grew close to the NB in opposition to the Aén Ďanez government. It joined Filomena Pinheiro's grand coalition cabinet after the Ossorian war crisis of 1986, its first participation in a federal government.

During the 1990s, the RCP took an ambiguous stance towards Mathilde Vieira's "plural coalition" — formally outside it, but providing support on occasion.

The CG obtained its best result in the 2020 federal election, and subsequently joined the Lena Haidynraix government.
