The Union for Freedom and Prosperity (French reformed: Union pour liberté et prosperité) is an electoral bloc of right-wing parties in Gylias. Formed in 1989, it is the main right-wing electoral bloc in Gylias.
History
The bloc was formed in 1989, in the context of the wretched decade and the dérive au droite. Founding parties Template:G-FEP/meta/shortname and Template:G-IFP/meta/shortname were originally in the National Bloc, but had increasingly moved rightwards and closer to radicalised and populist right-wing formations. They split from the NB in 1989 to establish the new bloc, joined by three other parties — the Template:G-PP/meta/shortname, Template:G-PFG/meta/shortname, and Template:G-ECM/meta/shortname.
The exposure of the neoliberal conspiracy turned public opinion overwhelmingly against the UFP. It barely entered Parliament in 1990, becoming the smallest bloc. It has since remained a marginalised presence, managing to narrowly remain in Parliament but isolated from mainstream politics and strongly unpopular due to its right-wing program and rejection of the Gylian consensus.
