	The NUP was founded in 1937 following Estmere's transition to a republican government. It succeeded the National Conservative Party as the party of the right. It dominated the post-war years and has formed the most governments of any party since Estmere's establishment as a republic. It entered into an electoral alliance with the Progressives since 1976. Their coalition has only been unseated twice, first in 1992 and later in 2008. The party has faced a decline in recent years, losing support to other right-wing parties. In 2016, the first NUP-led government was formed since 2004. It is currently the senior partner in the Federal Appeal coalition.
		The Progressives The Forblowings les progressistes	Oliver Osborne	In Government	142 / 500	25 / 118	Social liberalism Progressivism Sotirian democracy
	The Progressives were formed in 1965 following a merger of the Sotirian Social Party and the Solarian Catholic People's Party. It was established a secular party with a centrist platform that positioned itself as the moderate alternative to both the right-wing National Union Party and the left-wing Democratic Labour Party. Overtime, the party has become increasingly socially liberally and has a growing soft left wing. It has formed a number of governments since 1968 and entered into an electoral alliance with the NUP in 1976. The last Progressives led government was formed in 2012 after Federal Appeal returned to power after being unseated by Estmere First in 2008.
		Democratic Labour Party Folks Arveth Party Parti travailliste démocratique	Robert Spencers	In Opposition	78 / 500	33 / 118	Social democracy Democratic socialism
	Founded in 1937, the Democratic Labour Party was established as the party of the Estmerish left. It has struggled to gain traction due to the anti-left alliance of the DLP and the Progressives, the latter of which has ties to the country's traditional sectarian trade unions. It has relied on secular trade unions as its support base. The party only formed a government 1992 in the aftermath of the 1989 political crisis. Its tenure in government was racked by infighting, bringing it back to the opposition. It is traditionally the largest opposition party.
