The Orange Party (Dellish: Oranjepartij, Weranian: Orange Partei, OP, Swathish: ġeolurẹdpartẹ, GP, Kirenian: Oranžerakond, OE) is an Alslandic right-wing populist political party.
The party was founded in 2005 by Heymen Schaafsma who was expelled from the Social Democrats of Delland. The party was subject to a cordon sanitaire by every other political party in Alsland. Under Schaafsma the party grew to have a total of 14 seats in the Folkssenaat by 2010. In 2013 Elsert Wassenaar became the party's leader and moved the party away from the far-right, in response to this several Senators - led by Alof Oosterbaan - created Team Oosterbaan in 2019. Recently other political parties have opened up to working with the Orange Party and the party is a member of numerous local coalitions although it still sits in opposition on the national level. The party is the junior member of the governing coalition in Burnshire with the Estmerish Alliance and Garz with Progressive Holsteen. Despite this several parties still refuse to cooperate with the party such as the Humanist Sotirian Union, Liveable Delland and Green - Alternative Choice.
The Orange Party holds 2 out of Alsland's 24 seats in the Euclean Parliament and 11 in the Folkssenaat.
