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 Patriotic Union as one of these, although the members of it disagree.

Defunct Parties

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.

The first two decades of the Tengarian Republic 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.

	Party logo	Party name	Ab.	First leader	Last leader	Year formed	Year dissolved	Ideology
		Republicans Републиканци	RD РД	Boris Vladimerev	Nedelcho Dimov	1862	1933	Republicanism Nationalism Anti-monarchism Social liberalism
	Rather than an official political party, it was more a general fringe movement, promoting the abolition of the monarchy, dropping the Solarian identity in favour of a new "Tengarian" identity, the forced assimilation of minority groups, The Republicans were inspired by the First Soravian Civil War as well as movements in Eastern Euclea. Despite being outlawed, minor groups would continue to exist after they were defeated in the Green Revolution.. Republicans would be very prominent in the collaborationist Tengarian State, before effectively securing victory due to the forced imposition of a republic by Soravia after the war. Many of the republicans would largely join the Progressive Party, People's Party, or to the newly established Republican Party. Many of their nationalistic ideas would be adopted by the Tengarian Republic.
