Blue and White – People's Movement (Azmaran: Blau en Hyt – Folksstyringen), known before 2023 as the Azmaran People's Party (Azmaran: Azmaariś Folkspartii) is a right-wing populist political party in Azmara.
The party was founded in 2004 by Folksmot representatives Hank Hankssun and Maarþa Askersdohter, who had been kicked out of the Gold Flame parliamentary caucus after giving a press conference criticising the incumbent purple coalition's liberal immigration policies. The party would be joined by defectors from the agrarian-populist Centre Party and would win 11 seats in the 2005 election. After coming fourth with 13% and winning 20 seats in the 2011 election, the party would provide official support to the government of Jon Jorśsun but would withdraw its support due to disagreements with the other parties over austerity and the Euclean Community.
The party would suffer in the following election, losing half its seats in 2014, and would enter a period of slow decline over the course of the 2010s. In late 2022, Hank Hankssun would step down as party leader and be replaced by Hilda Maartensdohter, who would rebrand the party in anticipation for the 2023 elections, where the party would make gains in Ostlaak and Maartensdohter's home province of Sompland, where the party placed third.
The party's platform, which has been described as national-liberal, takes an anti-immigration, mildy Euclosceptic and economic nationalist perspective and presents itself as the vehicle of lower middle-class Azmarans against what it perceives as ineffective bureaucracy in Azmara and the Euclean Community.
