P70-Links

P70-Links is a left-wing marxist political party in Brunant. It has been around for over 40 years and is one of the more prominent small political parties.

History
P70-Links was founded in 1970 by disgruntled members of the 1968 student movement who felt that the government wasn't doing enough. P70 was extremely left wing and by the early 1970s was seen as the political wing of Barzona Libre. Throughout this period, many of its members were arrested for vandalism, violent acts and civil disruption. Divisions within the party and lack of success led them to break links with BL and rename itself P70-Links (P70-Left). They took a softer approach to marxism in 1981 and broke away from violence.

P70-Links did badly in elections until 1985, when they won one seat in the House of Representatives. Losing it in 1989, they began to broaden their appeal and in 1999 they took three seats. In 2002 they won a record 5 seats and in 2009 they had three.
