List of political parties in Tengaria

This article lists 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 as one of these, although the members of it disagree.

	Party name	First leader	Current leader	Founded	Seats in the State Council	Seats in the Chamber of Deputies	Ideology
	Patriotic Union Unionis Patriotica	Simeon Kovachev	Teodora Kovacheva	August 15, 1956 (1956-08-15) (67 years ago)	32 / 95	330 / 380	Nonpartisanism Civic virtue Social Conservatism Statism Anti-Pluralism Big tent Solarianism
	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.
	Democrats Democrati	Todor Vilovon	Petar Blagunev	November 12, 1987 (1987-11-12) (36 years ago)	1 / 95	12 / 380	Democratization Pluralism Euclean Community alignment
	Formed during Tengaria's economic reovery during the early Presidency of Dimitri Kovachev, this unofficial group of politicians advocate for the reform of the Tengarian system to be more democratic and for Tengaria to align more with the interests of Eastern Euclea rather than be beholden to Samorspi. 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.
	Reformists Reformisti	Natalia Draganeva		March 1, 1998 (1998-03-01) (26 years ago)	0 / 95	5 / 380	Reformism Social democracy Social liberalism
	Formed in the late 1990s during the Presidency of Dimitri Kovachev, it is a small group of politicians who see the need to gradually reform Tengaria away from authoritarianism and move instead towards social democracy. 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 liberalism, but did not have any representation in any kind of legislature. After the Green Revolution of 1868, Emperor Simeon III reformed the Senate and created the office of Minister-President. For the first four decades of the assembly, the Senate was non-partisan and its members 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 pro-republican or 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.

		Republicans Republicani Republikanski	RP	Boris Vladimerev	Nedelcho Dimov	1862	1933	Republicanism Nationalism Anti-monarchism Social liberalism
	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, 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.
