Radical League

The Radical League (Dutch: Radicale Bond) was a progressive liberal political party in the Netherlands from its founding in 1892 until it merged with the left wing of the Liberal Union to form the Free-thinking Democratic League in 1901.

Leaders of this caucus initiated the formation of a national political party in July 1892, and this resulted in the founding of the Radical League on 9 November 1892.

The newly elected MP was former Amsterdam alderman Carel Victor Gerritsen, who was also the husband of feminist Aletta Jacobs.

[1][2] The League was a progressive liberal and radical democratic party, committed to implementation of universal suffrage and social laws.

The League's electorate centered on Amsterdam, where intellectuals, journalists, teachers and educated workers supported the party.
