The Political Party of Radicals (Dutch: Politieke Partij Radikalen, PPR) was a Christian-radical,[2] progressive Christian[3] and green political party in the Netherlands. The PPR played a relatively small role in Dutch politics and merged with other left-wing parties to form GreenLeft (Dutch: GroenLinks) in 1991.
