History

The history of political parties in Mesogeia is almost as old as the empire itself with the modern day political parties having their origins in the social factions and chariot racing teams of the ancient times. The first such instance of political factions in Mesogeia formed sometime around the fifth century BC, with the loose establishment of two rival factions, the Aristoi and the Demoi factions during the long reign of Artaxerxes III.

The Aristoi faction consisted of land-owning nobles who advocated for a strong aristocractic faction at the expense of the emperor and the central government and traditionally supported established traditions, isolationism, and rights for nobles. Their rivals the Demoi consisted of a wide array of aristocrats, wealthy land-owners, merchants, and commoners who advocated for a strong central government at the expense of the nobility while favoring expansionism, land reform, and welfare projects directed at the common people. By the 1st century AD, the loose connection that held the Aristoi and Demoi factions together had collapsed, replaced altogether with four factions, the blues (Vénetoi) representing the sea, the greens (Prásinoi) representing the earth, the reds (Roúsioi) representing fire, and the whites (Leukoí) representing air; who identified themselves with the corresponding chariot racing teams of the Hippodrome.

Overtime the blues and the whites consolidated into one faction; and the Greens and the Reds did likewise. Overtime the Blue-Whites and the Green-Reds developed unique and specific stances pertaining to military, political, social and theological matters.
