List of political parties in Delkora

The following is a list of active political parties in Delkora. Delkoran politics is characterized by a multi-party system in which it is rare for a single party to win an outright majority at either the federal or state level, making coalition governments the norm.

First Party System (1833-1880)

Political scientists often term the period of Delkoran politics ranging from the implementation of parliamentary government in 1833 up until the 1880 Federal Election the "first party system". Both federal and state politics during this period were dominated by the Liberal and Conservative parties, representing the political left and right respectively. This two-party system arose out of the majoritarian electoral system of the time, which ensured that the two major parties won nearly all seats and that one of them always formed the government. Still, a handful of minor parties, notably the Agrarians, were able to win some seats, but never enough to be influential.

The Conservative Party base primarily consisted of the aristocracy and wealthy urban merchants, while the Liberals represented rural interests, urban laborers, and the burgeoning Delkoran middle class. The Agrarians competed with the Liberals for the support of rural communities, often causing a vote splitting effect that helped elect Conservative MFPs. Still, the Agrarians and Liberals often voted together on account of their shared support for land reform, small business, and limited government.

Second Party System (1880-1959)

The 1880 Federal Election marked a major shift in Delkoran politics, in that the National Labor Party gained a large number of seats, displacing the Liberals as the largest left-wing party in parliament. The two governed in a coalition during the chancellorship of Jordlan Brom from 1880 to 1888. Brom's government successfully passed legislation implementing proportional representation, which came into effect for the 1884 Federal Election. This helped solidify a relatively stable three-party system in which National Labor, the Conservative Party, and the Liberals competed to lead government formation. National Labor and the Liberals became reliable coalition partners, prompting a rightward shift in the Agrarian Party, which became a reliable junior coalition partner for the Conservative Party.

Third Party System (1959-1975)

The 1959 Federal Election produced the country's first single-party majority in the Chamber of Representatives when National Labor gained an outright majority following the collapse of the Conservative-Agrarian coalition. Historians often credit the party's sweeping victory to the "Elvensar Coalition" forged by National Labor leader Petris Elvensar, an alliance of the party's traditional urban working class base and two social cleavages that had traditionally supported more moderate or right-wing parties, namely the rural working class, which had traditionally supported the Agrarian Party, and the middle class, which had normally supported either the Conservatives or the Liberal Party. Both of these groups defected to National Labor in response to deteriorating economic conditions caused by the depression of the 1950's.
