Multiple parties formed and participated in the parliament. However, the dominating party was the National Reformation Party (華夏改革會'', lit. Huaxia Reformation Party'') which aimed to dismantle the monarchial pretensions of Canton and unite China after many decades of fragmentation. In 1927, the NRP-dominated Tenchyew parliament commenced the National Reform Movement, which attempted to do away with classical Chinese philosophy and tradition in favor of western ideals.
In 1931, the NRP-dominated parliament overthrew the Cantonese Christian monarchy. They renamed the country the Huaxia Republic (華夏民國) and sought to unify with the Great Qing by military aggression.
