The 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 former party of the Republic of Talossa sharing that same acronym.

The MRPT's Party Leader is the Benitian Lüc da Schir, elected to the post during the MRPT's Third Congress. He took over from the founder and former member of the PPT Glüc da Dhi, who decided not to seek re-election and terminated his three-year role in the leadership.

The party currently has nineteen members, including former Prime Ministers Glüc da Dhi and Lüc da Schir and Senators Magniloqueu Épiqeu da Lhiun and Sevastáin Pinátsch. The official colours of the MRPT are #126ECC (Moderate Blue) and #FF6600 (Radical Orange) and its mascot and symbol is a seahorse.

Members

The MRPT boasts members from each of the eight provinces of the Kingdom. The most represented provinces are Benito (5) and Cézembre (4).

History

43rd Cosâ

The party, that was composed 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 mascot. 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.

46th Cosâ

The MRPT won a record 53 seats in the General Elections, becoming the leading party in the government coalition with ZRT and LPR. The four MCs for the MRPT were Lüc da Schir (the new Party Whip), Alexandreu Soleiglhfred, Eovart Andrinescu and Magniloqueu Épiqeu da Lhiun. Andrinescu resigned shortly before the 3rd Clark.

Soleiglhfred's failure to vote in the 5th Clark's Vote of Confidence, the first and only by a MRPT MC from the party's foundation in 2011, prompted the government's collapse in July 2014.

47th Cosâ

The MRPT received 44 seats in the General Elections, of which two were handed to the Progressive Party acknowledging a voter's desire to change his vote because he was not informed that the PP was contesting the elections and he was still in their candidates list. The seats were so apportioned: eleven each to Sevastáin Pinátsch (the new Party Whip) and Tric'hard Carschaleir, ten each to Lupulüc da Fhöglha and Renalt da Fhamul. The MRPT's leader, Lüc da Schir, replaced his partymate Glüc da Dhi as the new Prime Minister.

Two new Senators are MRPT members and served as MCs for the 47th Cosâ: Lüc da Schir (replacing Tric'hard Carschaleir) and Magniloqueu da Lhiun, joining Glüc da Dhi and marking the first time ever in the MRPT's history that the party holds a relative majority in any of the Ziu's Houses, with three seats out of eight, ahead of the RUMP (2), ZRT (1), PP (1) and Lib (1).

48th Cosâ

The MRPT received 47 seats in the General Election. 12 seats each were given to Breneir Itravilatx, Ian Plätschisch, and Lupulüc da Fhöglha, and 11 seats were given to Erschéveþ da Schir. When Itravilatx left the MRPT to form the TNC, Ian Plätschisch was made Party Whip, and all existing MRPT MCs were given 15 seats. Glüc da Dhi was given 2 seats.

Sevastáin Pinátsch was elected to the Atatürk Senate seat, while Glüc da Dhi retired from the Senate.


MRPT Congress

The MRPT organizes a meeting of its members, known as "MRPT Congress", before every General Election. The congress usually lasts three or four weeks and features guest speakers, decisions on party policies and appointment to party offices.

The presence of guest speakers and the importance of the decisions taken by party members during the congress make the MRPT Congress one of the biggest political events of the year in Talossa.

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 Lüc da Schir, elected during the Third 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 current party whip is Ian Plätschisch.

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 Ian Plätschisch
