List of political parties in Rajyaghar

Political compass map of the political parties of Rajyaghar

This article lists political parties in Rajyaghar, which has a multi-party system with numerous political parties.

The lower house of the federal legislature, the House of Representatives, is elected by a national parallel voting system. 400 of the 500 House seats are constituency representative seats (Class 1) and 100 are from the party lists (Class 2) with parties requiring 3% of the national vote in order to gain one of these additional seats. At the state level, there are Union State Legislatures which are either bicameral (175 seats total) or unicameral (100 seats). Due to the cost of running national elections, there are fewer national political parties with more regional political parties focused on individual states or regions of the country.

Due to the dominance and effective campaign strategies of the Rajyani Rashtriya Party, the RRP has dominated the right wing of the political spectrum since independence whereas the left is more fractured with multiple political parties. As a result, when the largest of the left-wing parties, the Cooperative Party, has been in power at the federal level, it has often been as the largest political party in a left-wing coalition. With the advent of social media and increased voter knowledge and turnout, smaller political parties have begun to emerge.

Political parties and associations must register with the Royal Electoral Commission in order to be placed on any ballot. Regulations determining what can be approved are regulated by the Central Union Government and Shahee Sansad. Since the 1960s, councilism has been banned in Rajyaghar. As a result, the Rajyani Section of the Workers' International, commonly known as the Communist Party, was banned.

National Political Parties

		Rajyani Rashtriya Party Rajyani National Party	Madhava Thakur	272 / 500	1,710 / 4,000	11 / 25	Charsidhanism Neoliberalism Conservatism Tulyatva
	Founded in 1935 by Prakash Chaudhari, the Rajyani Rashtriya Party is a big-tent party for the political right. The RRP has held government several times and, since 2010, has led the Central Union Government with Madhava Thakur as Premier. The party first came to power in the 1960s amidst rising ethnic and religious divisions with a manifesto focused on charsidhanism. Following the Emergency in 1964, the party was ousted from power for a decade before returning as a centre-right, economy-focused political party which, during its time in government during the 80s, would deregulate and dramatically grow the economy. The party is seen as socially conservative, economically liberal and responsible and overall ruthlessly pragmatic.
		Cooperative Party	Ekanath Nayak	100 / 500	1,328 / 4,000	8 / 25	Social democracy Democratic socialism Charsidhanism
	Founded in 1949 following a split of the People's Party into the CP and Liberal Party, the CP is a centre-left political party which has, since 1949, held government numerous times. Since 2010, the party has formed the official opposition in the House of Representatives. Coming to power in 1951, the party continued the work of the People's Party but was unable to quash rising seperatist movements and was voted out in the next elections. Following the emergency, the party was seen as a safe pair of hands and ruled the country for over a decade. Alternating with the RRP, the CP would come in and out of government with the last CP Government of 1995-2010 ushering in a new era of social liberalism. The party is socially progressive and fiscally socialist.
		Liberal Party	Arjun Misra	40 / 500	358 / 4,000	5 / 25	Liberalism Social liberalism Charsidhanism
	Founded in 1949 following a split of the People's Party into the Liberal Party and CP, the Liberal Party is a centrist political party which has, since 1960, steadily seen a drop in support with its base flocking to the RRP. In the early 2000s, the LP saw a resurgence in popularity but the subsequent risse of the Khisako Party and a return to centre-right politics by the RRP has caused it to lose ground once again and has since fallen to 4th place in national polls behind the Irfanic Coalition. Despite being the 4th largest party, it is classed as a national party due to its ability to campaign and field candidates in all union states.

Regional Political Parties

	Party Name	Leader	Seats in the House of Representatives	Seats in Union State legislatures	Number of State Governments held	Ideology
	Irfanic Coalition	XX	49 / 500	170 / 4,000	2 / 25 Majority in Dalar Bewar Coalition in Zulmat	Social Conservatism Irfanic fundamentalism
	The Irfanic Coalition is a religious political party which has sought to promote and represent the interests of the irfanic minority in Rajyaghar. With over 15% of the population being irfanic, the party performs well in the party-proportional representation system for the federal House of Representatives. However, due to the localisation of the irfanic population in certain districts, it does not pick up a lot of constituency seats both at the federal and state levels. Due to this, the party often serves in coalitions as a minor party in the eastern states.
	Tarkhana National Party	XX	13 / 500	91 / 4,000	1 / 25 Majority in Tarkhana	Tarkhanic Seperatism Social democracy
	The Tarkhana National Party is a pro-independence movement which operates soley in the Union State of Tarkhana. It's primary aim is to advocate for the secession of the Union State of Tarkhana from the Kingdom of Rajyaghar to form an independent nation. The party is fiscally and socially liberal and has seen an increase in support from young and educated voters. Due to the unique culture and historical heritage of Tarkhana, the TNP has strong support in the state and has formed its government since the 1980s.
	Sabraj Congress Party All Rajyaghar Congress Party	XX	9 / 500	214 / 4,000	2 / 25 Majority in Sangam and Sasipur	Socialism Social corporatism Trade unionist
	SCP, as it is known, is a socialist political party which was formed by members of the Cooperative Party in the 1997. The failure of the CP to stand up to the RRP during the 1989 National Strike had its drift to the centre on economic policies caused several left wing members of the CP to split from the party and form the Sabraj Congress Party. The party has overtaken the CP at the state level in the pro-councilism states of the South which experienced communist insurgencies in the 50s and 60s. The party continues to dominate in the south, forming the state governments of Sasipur and Sangam. At the national level, the SCP loses votes to the CP who are seen as more likely to enter government and therefore enact national changes.
	Karmee Sangh Workers Union	XX	0 / 500	29 / 4,000	0 / 25	Socialism Seperatism Trade unionist
	The Karmee Sangh was founded in 1967 following the ban of the councilism during the emergency. Styled as a 'councilism-lite' political party, the party routinely finds itself being banned and reinstated by the Electoral Commission. The KS only operates in the Union States of Sangam and Sasipur which experienced communist insurgencies during the 50s and 60s. Due to its routine bannings, many of its voters flock to the SCP or CP instead.
	Pinjar Liberation Union	XX	2 / 500	15 / 4,000	0 / 25	Territorial nationalism Pinjar Unification
	The Pinjar Liberation Union is a political party which seeks to annex several communes within the State of Tobadad in Gulbistan which were previously part of Pinjar before the Satrian Wars. The political party is a single-issue party and only attracts support from the eastern most communes of Pinjar. Whilst originally being a very popular party in the east, since the warming of relations between Gulbistan and Rajyaghar in the late 20th Century, support for the PLU has collapsed.
	Khisako Party Progressive Party	XX	8 / 500	49 / 4,000	0 / 25	Progressivism Environmentalist
	Founded in 2014, the Khisako Party is a progressive political party that was formed by students from the youth wings of the Liberal and Cooperative Parties in Sansora University. Aimed at promoting social progressiveness, economic liberalism and environmentally friendly policies, the political party has gained significant support from young and educated voters, with significant bastions of support in university communes.
	Prakrati Party Green Party	XX	7 / 500	36 / 4,000	0 / 25	Progressivism Green Politics Eco-socialism
	The Prakarti Party, commonly referred to as the Green Party, is an environmentalist political party which seeks to preserve, protect and promote the natural environment, climate and animals of Rajyaghar. Despite widespread national support, due to its poor localisation of support, the party only wins constituency seats in coastal communes with the majority of its seats in the House of Representatives coming from the Class 2 membership.
