This is a comprehensive list of political parties in Piraea.
History
The political system of Piraea in the Third Republic is heavily based on proportial representation, which grants a multiparty system with a varied range of political parties being represented in the 125-seat Senate. During the period of the Second Republic, commonly referred to as the Government of National Reorganisation, the political system of the country was divided between outlawed political parties and organisations, mainly those in the left of the political spectrum, and those aligned with the military junta.
The fall of the military dictatorship and the first years of the Third Republic were marked by a rapid resurge of political parties, most of them under the forms they existed before the dictatorship. During the first years, the People's Party and the Piraese Socialist Workers Union became dominant in the political scenario, with the latter forming most governments until the mid-1990s. The PSEE, of socialist and anarcho-syndicalist roots has been, both a partner and rival inside the left side of the spectrum, of the Piraese Section of the Workers' International, heavily aligned with the Kirenia and the Association for International Socialism. The right, still dominated by the People's Party, has seen in recent years the emergence of the Democrats and the Homeland Party; while the first has centrist tendencies, the latter has been heavily categorised as populist and close to Etruria's Tribune Movement.
Piraea counts with a low threshold, which is responsible for the numerous political parties represented in the Senate and the impossibility for parties to achieve the needed seats to form a majority government.
