Khmer Republican Party

Khmer Republican Party

This is a political party recently created on March 11th 2006 [http://vuthanews.info/political-platform/khmer-republican-party-krp/] and competed in the July 27th 2008 elections with their leader Lon Rith as their candidate

ideology

Even when the party uses the word "Republican" in its name the KRP's leader said they "will not make a republic of cambodia". [http://ki-media.blogspot.com/2007/02/lon-riths-khmer-republican-party-will.html] However it does believe in a combination of ideologies from the right-wing, left-wing and liberals. It promotes ideas of the right-wing like protecting the "Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia" and Cambodians "national sovereignty" and the Cambodian "culture" and "religion".

The kind of left-wing ideas it promotes are creating "jobs" these will improve "peoples living standard" and improve the Cambodian "economy", "agriculture" and "industrialization". Construct "real democracy", promote and give hope to Cambodia's "workers in all types of factories, enterprises and companies" will assert their right to have "compensation according to their strengths and duties". They should get an "incentive bonus, hourly pay and other pay in line with international standards".

The liberal part of the Khmer Republican Party is protecting "free market trade inside and outside" Cambodia.Apart from that it also wants freedom for the "press and religion" to express themselves. [http://vuthanews.info/political-platform/khmer-republican-party-krp/]
