The Reform Party (West Crylantian: Reformistica Partita, East Crylantian: Reformistiskepartiet) is a conservative-liberal and internationalist political party in the Crylantian Federation.
Founded in 1920 as a merger of the classic-liberal Free Democratic Party and the national-liberal Crylantian Democratic Party, the party was the dominant party for much of the existence of the Principality of Crylante, advocating both a reinvestment in infrastructure and a free and open business market. In the late 1930's, the party lost ground to the newly-formed Socialist Party, the 1939 election led to a hung parliament in which no party could get a majority and no government could be formed for many months, leading to the drafting of the 1941 Constitution. Since 1941 the party has been in a perpetual coalition with the Socialist Party, the Trúathi Party and the Farmers' Party, meaning that the party has always had two Directors in the government, currently Liana Vescovi of Badessa, elected 2009 and Natalia La Blanc of Lillehavn, elected 2013.
Today the party advocates a conservative-liberal and internationalist platform, advocating the abolition of tariffs, increased scientific research funding, middle-class tax cuts and maintainment of the welfare state, along with the legalisation, taxation and regulation of soft drugs, a pro-choice attitude towards abortion and euthanasia and more involved relations with the rest of the world, while keeping within the limits of Crylantian neutrality. However, there has always been a small national-liberal trend within the party, which takes a more protectionist and isolationist stance on foreign affairs.
It is headquartered in Lillehavn and is the largest party in the Peoples' Assembly with 50 seats and the second-largest party in the States' Assembly, and is currently co-chaired by Liana Vescovi, the Director for Finance, Natalia La Blanc, the Director for Healthcare and Defence, and Flavius Septimus, a member of the People's Assembly, representing his home state of Sønderburg.
