The Independent Progress Rally (French reformed: Rassemblement indépendant progressiste), abbreviated IPR (RIP), is a Gylian political party, part of the Centre Group bloc.
History
The Independent Progress Rally was formed in 1961, 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 IPR 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 IPR 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 IPR took an ambiguous stance towards Mathilde Vieira's "plural coalition" — formally outside it, but providing support on occasion.
It joined the Lena Haidynraix government after the 2020 federal election.
Ideology
The IPR represents the progressive formation of the CG, whose platform emphasises participism.
Symbols
The RCP uses a dark shade of orange as its official colour.
