This article lists political parties in Tengaria.

Parties with representation in the Grand Assembly

Legally, all political parties have been banned in Tengaria since 1958. However, there are several political organizations which exist which de facto function as political parties, although they do not bear the name. Most outside sources include the anti-partisan National Rally as one of these, although the members of it disagree.

Historical Parties

Early Republic (1935-1957)

The first two decades of the Republic of Tengaria were extremely volatile. As a Presidential Republic, only during its first five years did the party of the President coincide with the majority in the Grand Assembly. The partial collapse of the TNVP saw the contest for power between 4 major and 3 minor parties, leading to very shaky coalitions and political deadlock as the economy continued to deteriorate. By 1955 the tensions had blown over after the election of a pro-monarchist President and the first majority in years led to the declaration of the People's Republic of Tengaria and the beginning of the Tengarian Civil War.

Imperial Era (1851-1935)

Emperor Simeon III first brought about the creation of the office of Minister President and the creation of the Imperial Assembly during the early 1850s. For the first four decades of the assembly, the political system was first done by Independent politicians and still depended heavily on support from the Emperor. However in the late 1880s parties first began to centralize from various factions within the Assembly and government, leading to the creation of Tengaria's first political parties. Originally, there were only three parties, but as the decades progressed more parties began to be formed.
