The '''National Power Party''' (Coscivian: ''Plaiduv | The '''National Power Party''' (Coscivian: ''Plaiduv Ğudraîsarnsk'') is a {{wp|liberalism|liberal}} unitary political party in the [[Kiravian Federacy]]. Originating in [[Æonara]] under the [[Kiravian Remnant]], the correspondence committees that would form the skeleton of the NPP were made up of dissidents from the [[United Allegiance Society]] who had become critical of the conservatising [[Renaissance Party]] and the Remnant's political establishment generally, and who desired more substantive progress toward political liberalisation. The organisation operated legally but underground and under close state surveillance until the death of Prime Executive [[Séan Kæśek|Kæśek]] in 1962, after which it came aboveground as the National Power Party and sought membership in the [[National Reunification Front]], which it was denied. Although permitted to exist as part of {{wp|civil society}}, the NPP could not contest elections until 1976. In the truly multiparty elections of that year, the NPP emerged as the largest party in the [[Federal Stanora|Stanora]] outside the NRF, in part because the established authorities preferred the NPP over the other leading opposition group, the Democratic Movement Party, and worked actively to shift opposition voters from the DMP to NPP. The NPP went through a period of irrelevancy after [[Kiravian Reunification]]; however, during this time it underwent a generational change in leadership and adopted a new platform. Following the collapse of the [[Green Party (Kiravia)|Kiravian Green Party]] and its [[Third Front]] alliance, the rejuvenated NPP was able to gather liberal voters previously attached to the Greens, enabling the Party to regain its national profile. | ||
The contemporary NPP is has been described as a {{wp|Radical centrism|radical centrist}} party by international observers, on the grounds that it calls for relatively bold, even fundamental, institutional reforms, but is neither conservative nor socialist. Other observers (mostly right-leaning) consider it a {{wp|centre-left}} party of the middle class, while still others (mostly left-leaning) characterise the party as centre-right in relation to capital. In Kiravia the Party is best known for its advocacy of {{wp|human rights}} and {{wp|humanitarianism}}, and is recognised as the leading proponent of the human rights conceptual framework in the country, though it is perceived as being more of a {{wp|testimonial party}} than a potent political force due to its relatively narrow voter base and limited presence in provincial and federal legislatures. | The contemporary NPP is has been described as a {{wp|Radical centrism|radical centrist}} party by international observers, on the grounds that it calls for relatively bold, even fundamental, institutional reforms, but is neither conservative nor socialist.
