View source for List of political parties in Tengaria

This article lists {{wp|political parties}} in [[Tengaria]]. 

==Parties with representation in the Senate==

Legally, all political parties have been banned in Tengaria since the passage of the second Constitution in 1958. However, there are several political organizations which exist which (disputably) unofficially act as political parties, although they do not bear the name and do not do many things which political parties in order to not violate the Constitution's prohibition. Most outside sources include the anti-partisan [[Patriotic Union (Tengaria)|Patriotic Union]] as one of these, although the members of it disagree.

| colspan="7" |The Union is the product of [[Simeon Kovachev]], formed principally from the VS and the remaining parties of the late Republic which did not support Vasilov's coup, and was largely molded by Kovachev's political philosophy as well as the views of the VS. Although it encompasses a variety of interests and viewpoints, it shares a common anti-partisan and generally conservative consensus. Since its foundation, most Tengarian politicians have been members of the Union, however, it does not sponsor or endorse candidates for election. The Union denies that it is a political party, instead being a political movement which transcends party and acts as a common front for politicians to support the common good. While it has been consistently ruled constitutionally not a party by Tengarian courts, foreign observers claim that it is in fact a political party.

From 1988 to 2018, it (unofficially) held between 14-22 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, although it lost some members due to the success of Teodora's Presidency and has been in decline since.

Although it had 9 nominal deputies in 2006-2018, the 2018 elections saw a few ousted or leave the ad-hoc group in order to switch to be independent.

==Defunct Parties==

After the [[Euclean Spring]], political societies and parties began to gradually form within Tengaria. Many of these associations were in support of increased {{wp|liberalism}}, but did not have any representation in any kind of legislature. After the [[Green Revolution]] of 1868, Emperor [[Simeon III]] reformed the [[Senate (Tengaria)|Senate]] and created the office of [[Minister-President of Tengaria|Minister-President]]. For the first four decades of the assembly, the Senate was {{wp|nonpartisanism|non-partisan}} and its members {{wp|independent politicians}}. However, in the late 1890s, parties first began to centralize from various factions within the Assembly and government, leading to the creation of Tengaria's first political parties. Explicitly {{wp|republicanism|pro-republican}} or {{wp|Anti-monarchism|anti-monarchy}} parties were banned, although several parties existed which were nominally pro-monarchy to ensure seats in the Senate.

The first two decades of the [[Tengarian Republic]] were extremely volatile. As a Presidential Republic, only during its first five years did the party of the President coincide with the majority in the Senate. The partial collapse of the TNVP saw the contest for power between 4 major and 3 minor parties, leading to very shaky coalitions and political deadlock as the economy continued to deteriorate. By 1955 the tensions had blown over after the election of a pro-monarchist President and the first majority in years led to the declaration of the People's Republic of Tengaria and the beginning of the [[Tengarian Civil War]].

| colspan="8" | Rather than an official political party, it was more a general fringe movement, promoting the abolition of the monarchy, dropping the Solarian identity in favour of a new "Tengarian" identity, the forced assimilation of minority groups, The Republicans were inspired by the [[First Soravian Civil War]] as well as movements in Eastern Euclea. Despite being outlawed, minor groups would continue to exist after they were defeated in the [[Green Revolution]].. Republicans would be very prominent in the collaborationist [[Tengarian State (1930-1933)|Tengarian State]], before effectively securing victory due to the forced imposition of a republic by Soravia after the war. Many of the republicans would largely join the Progressive Party, People's Party, or to the newly established Republican Party. Many of their nationalistic ideas would be adopted by the [[Tengarian Republic]].

| colspan="8" |Tengarian version of the [[Soravian Nationalist and Revivalist Party|ZNVP]]. Supported nationalism, which was opposed to the Solarianism of the VS and which was associated with Republicanism (although during the monarchy it proclaimed loyalty to it). Notable for being anti-minority and pro assimilationist. Although positioned in the centre historically, it has since been considered as right-wing. When the Republic was established, the TNVP went from being a centre party to one of the right wing parties because of its opposition to socialism, although it was known to cross the aisle to support pro-nationalistic measures.
