Radical Unity (French reformed: Unité radicale), abbreviated RU (UR), is a Gylian political party, part of the Front for Renewal of Order and Society bloc.
History
It was established in 1975, taking the place of the dissolved Party of National Democrats in the Front for Renewal of Order and Society.
It was a negligible presence in Gylian politics, doing poorly at the ballot box and regularly coming into conflict with Elections Gylias, which disqualified many of its candidates and banned its PPBs for discriminatory, hateful, or anti-constitutional content.
The wretched decade saw the FROS' profile rise, aided by a charismatic leader and a backlash against the Revolutionary Rally. Moderating its extremist image and relying on "dog whistling" rhetoric, its support rose in elections, and its peak in the 1985 federal election caused alarm in Gylian society.
The Filomena Pinheiro government's crackdown on extremism destroyed the party as a political force. It lost all its seats in the 1990 federal election, and has not held any office since.
Ideology
RU represents the national syndicalist formation of the FROS.
Symbols
RU uses a dark shade of gray as its official colour.
