The Reformed Political Party (Dutch: Staatkundig Gereformeerde Partij, [ˌstaːtˈkʏndə(x)xəˌreːfɔrˈmeːrdəpɑrˈtɛi]; SGP) is a conservative Calvinist[13] political party in the Netherlands. The term Reformed is not a reference to political reform but is a synonym for Calvinism—a major branch of Protestantism. The SGP is the oldest political party in the Netherlands existing in its present form, and has been in opposition for its entire existence. Since 1925, it has won between 1.6% and 2.5% of the votes in general elections. Owing to its orthodox political ideals and its traditional role in the opposition, the party has been called a testimonial party. Since the general election of 2012, it has held three of the 150 seats of the House of Representatives.
