  • Formed in 1860 the Radicals were initially a coalition of those who supported constitutionalism and universal suffrage for working men and later women. It first formed a government under Fydd Rochester, but split in 1875 over the issue of tariff reform with Rochester breaking from the party to form the Agrarian League. The Radicals were mostly locked out of power until A. A. Duncan won in 1908. A Gladstonian liberal Duncan saw social reform and gave the vote to women in 1910, as well as promote free trade. Duncan lost power in 1915, but the Radicals came back to power under Rhys Lawgoch in 1922. Lawgoch's term ended with the Great Depression with the governments fiscal discipline resulting in a general strike in 1930. Lawgoch took a hardline anti-union stance which split the party, with Lawgochs allies joining the Agrarian League to form the National Union Party and his opponents staying in the rump Radical party. As a result of the split the Radicals lost most of its working class supporters to the Labour party. Since then it has served as a minority coalition partner in both Nation Union and Labour governments. The Radical Party throughout its history has been associated with radicalism and social liberalism. Since the 1980's the Radical Party has been supportive of free-market principles supporting low taxes and privatisation, drawing upon classical liberal traditions. The party currently supports economic liberalism, a strong welfare state and the implementation of a more proportional voting system.
