Norodom Ranariddh Party

Political ideology

The party promotes several ideologies. On the conservative side, it promotes the preservation of Cambodia's "cultural landmarks" while improving the capital city "Phnom Penh's master plan" to mend "buildings in the city in order to" be an excellent "modern city." The party also wants to keep the existence of the "Khmer race and its culture, religion and language." The NRP wants to nationally stop the "increase in the price of goods" and will get rid of "the monopoly on foreign good imports" and take away "tariffs on" the necessary foods Cambodia gets from other countries.

On the progressive side, it believes in making the "minimum wages for factory workers" larger. The NRP would oppose the "blocks of flats which have been constructed to poor technical standards" particularly those with no necessary emergency systems. A liberal part of this party's ideology is promoting freedom from the rulers of Cambodia who only think of "power, money and themselves" or a "dictatorial" and militaristic government. Apart from that, the party proposed reforming the "city's judicial systems", freeing it from any damaging misguidance so it can give its "independence and fairness for the people."

Political activities

The Norodom Ranariddh Party created an alliance with three political parties: the Sam Rainsy Party, FUNCINPEC party and the Human Rights Party. Together they wanted the international community and Cambodia to oppose the Cambodian elections that were "won" on 27 July 2008 by the Cambodian People's Party because the CPP "manipulated and rigged" the elections.

Prince Norodom Ranariddh announced "retirement from politics" on Friday 3 October 2008. However he still will have influence on "NRP policy". While that's happening the party appointed Chhim Siek Leng "as its next [acting] leader."

Norodom Ranariddh entered politics again on 11 December 2010, when the NRP (which had been known as the Nationalist Party after Norodom Ranariddh left) renamed itself again.
