The MRPT (Moderate Radical Party of Talossa) is a Talossan political party. Initially known as simply the Moderate Radical Party (MRP), the name was changed in 2012 to avoid confusion with a pre-existing party having that same acronym. Its symbol is a seahorse.

Its leader since its foundation in August 2011 is the former members of the PPT Glüc da Dhi. Alèxandreu Soleighlfred was the co-leader de iure until the First Congress, when Glüc da Dhi was elected as the only leader, but as he was still holding important offices (Party Secretary, Party Whip) his co-leadership ceased de facto with his resignations during the Second Congress. The party currently has fifteen members, including MCs Lüc da Schir and Ben Putnam. The official colours of the MRPT are orange and blue.

History

43rd Cosâ

The party, that existed of only two members at the time, gained three votes during its first general elections, resulting in 8 seats in the Cosa. The party reported a 100% voting record during the legislature. At the end of the first term the party decided to adopt a new acronym and a new logo, created by Alèxandreu Soleighlfred. The seahorse was adopted as the new party mascotte. By the end of its first term, the party had doubled its membership to four members.

44th Cosâ

The MRPT won twelve votes in the General Elections, resulting in 18 seats in the Cosa, an increase of 10 seats. For the first time, the party received votes from citizens of other provinces than Cézembre. During this term the party voted on party statutes, resulting in the organization of the first MRPT congress, which was held from 2/5/2013 to 3/5/2013. During the term the MRPT again doubled its membership. So far the MRPT is again the only party to have voted on all clarks during the 44th Cosa.

45th Cosâ

The MRPT gained thirteen votes in the General Elections, resulting in 21 seats in the Cosa, three more than the previous term. The MCs representing the MRPT in the 45th Cosa are Alexandreu Soleiglhfred (acting as Whip), Lüc da Schir and Ben Putnam, with seven seats each. Again, the MRPT completed this Cosâ without a single failure to vote.

Party organisation

The MRPT is a democratic party in which most decisions are made by the membership of the party. On 18 January 2013 the members approved statutes for the party. All information about the MRPT can be found in the Party Digest which is issued by the Party Secretary.

Party Leader

The Party Leader is the elected leader of the party. He is responsible for every party office that isn’t filled by any other member, except that of campaign leader. This office is currently filled by founder of the party Glüc da Dhi, who was reelected at the first MRPT congress. All decisions made by the party leader can be overruled by the members of the party. In case of absence the party leader is replaced by the Vice Party Leader, usually the Party Whip.

Party Whip

The Party Whip is the leader of the MRPT in the Cosa. Should the MRPT get seats in the Cosa, the candidate who was the Cosa list leader will become Party Whip. The Party Whip is responsible for leading the Clark discussions, getting all the MCs of the party focused and on the same line and, in the absence of a Party Speaker, possibly explaining certain decisions made by the MRPT MCs. Should the Party Whip vacate his Cosa seats, the MC who was next on the candidate list for that Cosa becomes the Party Whip. The party whip during the last Cosa was Alexandreu Soleiglhfred.

Party Secretary

The Party Secretary is an optional office the Party Leader can appoint. The Party Secretary’s duties include updating the Party Digest and other party documents, and conducting elections and referendums outside the Congress and election season. The current holder of this office is Lüc da Schir, who has replaced the previous Secretary Alexandreu Soleiglhfred after the latter resigned during the Second Congress.
