Radical Party (Augustus Rex)

The Radical Party was a British political party active during the 19th century that emerged in support of political reform. The Party developed from a pressure group into an organised political faction in opposition to the policies of King Ernest Augustus during the 1840s.

The Radicals were at their most dominant during the early years of the British Republic, and played a major role in writing the British constitution.

Through the 1860s the Radicals began to fall apart as an organised political force, with disagreements over Free Trade, Irish Home Rule and the Church of England.
