Saint-Baptiste has a two-party system, in where two dominant parties have the ability to form government, with others having extreme difficulty achieving electoral success. The two main parties, the National Action Party (PAN) and the Democratic Centre Union (UCD), have traditionally pursued similar policies and have been referred to as ideologically similar, with the main political divide in Saint-Baptiste being between the successors of the former Bachelet regime in the UCD and those that supported the transition to liberal democracy during the 1990s in PAN.
Since 2007, some experts have said Saint-Baptiste is moving towards a "two-party-and-a-half system" ("Système bipartite et demi") with the recent success of the Baptistois Labour Party, but most still consider the UCD and PAN dominant in the country.
