List of political parties in Tengaria
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 Senate. 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 (1868-1935)
After the Euclean Spring, political societies and parties began to gradually form within Tengaria. Many of these associations were in support of increased liberalism, but did not have any representation in any kind of legislature. After the Green Revolution of 1868, Emperor Simeon III reformed the Senate and created the office of Minister-President. For the first four decades of the assembly, the Senate was non-partisan and its members independent politicians. However, in the late 1890s, parties first began to centralize from various factions within the Assembly and government, leading to the creation of Tengaria's first political parties. Explicitly pro-republican or anti-monarchy parties were banned, although several parties existed which were nominally pro-monarchy to ensure seats in the Senate.
