Craftian Reform Party

The Craftian Reform Party (CRP, commonly known as the Reform Party, known as the United Party from 2015 to 2022) is a centrist, classical liberal political party in Craftia. The party was the main third party in federal politics from the late 2010s until the early 2040s. It is now a smaller but still considerably important force in federal politics, usually gaining about 5% of the seats in the Craftian House of Representatives, allowing it to hold a 'kingmaker' status by forming coalitions with larger parties. In modern times, it presents itself as a centrist 'European liberal' party, and as a moderate alternative to the Craftian Conservative Party.

Founded in 2013 by ex-Craftia Liberty Party parliamentarian Oliver Hen-Ji, the Reform Party espouses classical liberalism, direct democracy, radical centrism and monetary reform. It is socially moderate while leaning to the right on economic issues. The party has served as the main party in government from 2016 to 2019 and 2034 to 2035 under Prime Ministers Hen-Ji and Timothy Lee respectively. Its position in the centre of the Craftian political spectrum has allowed it to negotiate with both the left and right. Since the 2040s Reform has declined in popularity as the popular Hen-Ji retired and voters moved towards the Liberal Party of Craftia, which was becoming increasingly economically liberal while remaining socially progressive. The party was embroiled in unstable leadership and factionalism for much of the 2050s and 2060s, mainly between the progressive left and liberal right factions, and its decline has been attributed to the high turnover of leaders. Since the 2070s these issues have largely settled down, culminating in the 2073 federal election, where the Reform Party secured its best result in decades, winning more than 12% of the vote and 20 seats.

At the state level, the Reform Party had its heyday in the 2030s, forming the state government and Official Opposition in multiple states. Today it performs the strongest in the states of Jebsten, Kagstron and Lumina, with the party currently forming the Official Opposition in the latter two states' parliaments. It has previously formed state governments in Jebsten (2025–2031), Meyang (2032–2038), Western Craftia (2018–2021, 2036–2039) and Lumina (2033–2036, 2055–2057, 2066–2072). Reform is currently providing confidence and supply to the minority Conservative government in Addams.
