The two main parties, the [[Baptistois Liberal Party]] (PLB) and the [[Saint-Baptiste Reform Party]] (PAREF), have traditionally 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 PLB and those that supported the transition to liberal democracy during the 1990s in PAREF.

Since 2010, 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 PLB and PAREF dominant in the country.

Saint-Baptiste has a two-party system, in where two dominant parties have the ability to form government, with others having traditionally difficulty achieving long-term electoral success. The two main parties, the People's Action Party (PAP) and the Saint-Baptiste Labour Party (POSB), have both formed government since democratization in the 1980s. Political cleavages in Saint-Baptiste include divisions based on identity and region, with the more urban, service and finance industry-focused, and Blaycophilic parishes being dominated by the PAP, while the POSB's strongest results typically come from working-class and rural communities, especially those with significant Creole populations.

A handful of smaller parties have entered the Chamber of Deputies on occasion, but have failed to find long-term success against the two main parties.
