Partì da Reformaziun (English: the Reform Party) is a political party founded by Mic'haglh Autófil prior to the April 2022 general election. Described by Miestra Schiva as "celebrating in the traditional manner by starting his own political party",[1] the PdR was founded in part to "rise above the continuous headbutting" of the more established parties, being instead a group that would hear out even its most polar ideological opposites.
Beliefs
The PdR holds several main principles, those being:
- - Republicanism:
- - The PdR is at its core a party that supports the implementation of a Talossan republic.
- - Ideally, this would take the form of a directorial system, a multi-member executive elected on staggered terms.
- - In the interest of compromise, the PdR advocates giving the reigning King one of the seats on the executive council, whichever seat with the term set to expire the latest.
- - Unicameralism & Cosa Reform:
- - The PdR holds that a bicameral legislature is largely unnecessary in a nation of Talossa's size, and that the Senäts should be abolished.
- - However, to ensure provincial interests remain represented in the Ziu, the PdR advocates transitioning first to a Cosa elected by mixed-member proportional representation prior to abolishing the Senäts.
- - Each province should be allotted an equal number of whole seats at an election, such that the total number of provincial seats should be as close as possible to half the total Cosa seats without going over.
- - The number of seats should either remain fixed (causing overhang seats to be taken away from other parties), or only increase above the nominal number by the number of overhang seats.
- - Party list seats are best apportioned by the Huntington-Hill method.
- - The Senäts should only be abolished upon the dissolution of a Cosa. Any Senators in the middle of a term at the abolition of the Senäts should be granted their province's provincial seats for the remainder of what would have been their senatorial term.
- - Incrementalism:
- - The PdR holds that changes can only be evaluated properly when they are implemented in a deliberate and incremental manner. Radical changes only provoke a swing of the pendulum in the opposite direction.
- - Provincial Reform:
- - The PdR advocates for provincial mergers where sensible.
- - Derivativist / Pecularist Agnosticism:
- - Recognizing the merits of both derivativism and peculiarism, the PdR takes no official stance, leaving the matter to each member's conscious consideration. Unofficially, the party advocates for a middle path between the two, sometimes referred to as "doing derivativist things in a peculiarist manner".
- - Anti-isolationism:
- - The PdR advocates for continuing to sensibly broaden Talossa's ties to the broader micronational community.
- - Mutual Respect:
- - The PdR advocates treating all Talossans with dignity and respect, taking the high road whenever possible.

Organization
Structure
Nominally as per its charter, the PdR membership in each province elects a Zirecteir Provincial (Provincial Director), which serve as the provinces' representation on the Comità Esecutorxheu (Executive Committee). The Comità Esecutorxheu chooses from among its members the Zirecteir Naziunal (National Director), who serves as the party's leader. In practice however, most of these offices sit vacant.
