		National Union Party Theedish Fay Union nationale	Reginald Wilton-Smyth	In Government	169 / 500	17 / 118	Conservatism Neoliberalism Social conservatism Liberal conservatism
	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 Se 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 Liberal Party, 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. It is currently the junior partner in the Federal Appeal coalition.
		Democratic Labour Party Folks Arvethpartie Parti démocratique travailliste	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.
		Estmere First Eastmarchon Forthgo L'Estme d'abord	George Avery	In Opposition	64 / 500	5 / 118	Estmerish nationalism Conservatism Soft-euclosceptism Populism
	Estmere First was formed in 1984 by right-wing members of the National Union Party who were opposed to Estmerish participation in the Euclozone. It positioned itself as conservative party that drew inspiration from National Conservatism and had a smaller classical liberal faction. Support for the party grew during the 1990s and after the 2005 World Financial Crisis it capitalized on anti-government sentiments. It formed a government following the 2008 general election and held a referendum on withdrawal from the Euclozone in 2010, which was defeated. The party was hit by a number of scandals during its tenure. It was defeated in 2012 by Federal Appeal and a number of its members were prosecuted by the Sharpe Government. Support for Estmere First has since declined, losing supporters to the NUP or to the recently formed National Interest - Party for Democracy.
