The Party for Freedom and Progress (Lec: Karno Wòlnosc ë Pòkrok, KWëP) is a conservative libertarian political party in Lecistan, created on 9 September 2015 during the campaign for the October 2015 elections. It was formed by the dissatisfied libertarian wing of the Moderate Front after the latter's collapse in July and August.
The party's platform emphasizes libertarian-conservative policies, as well as the establishment of better relations with Lecistan's neighbors, specifically Odissia.
Platform
Domestic
universal suffrage for all, capitalism is great, reduce Grand Duke's role in politics, rights for Odissian and Michillian minorities, more civil liberties, yadda yadda yadda
Foreign
Overall, the PFP has often described itself as "a party for rapprochement with the major powers of South Conitia, long strained by our ties to the Nevans, which we beleive does more harm than good." Consequently, they mainly push for a gradual disengagement from Nevanmaa (such as replacing the Nevan markka in favor of a new currency, the repeal of the Nevan-Lecistani Friendship Treaty, and ultimately the handover of the ducal throne to any prominent Lecistani or even the Odissian crown) and the Pact of the Four Crowns in favor of closer ties with Odissia, Osonia, and the United Republics. Though the party did condemn an Odissian court ruling rendering Lecistani independence illegitimate, most of its members (including party leaders) still wish to have "a more harmnonious relationship with the Odissian government, particularly in regards to the rights of minority Lecs in their borders", with some in the party even going so far as to "revalidate" Lecistan's independence through a referendum similar to OIRR 2015.
