The party is traditionally associated with strong advocacy of human rights and a historical opposition to communism, as well as promotion of the Tokhari identity via the advocacy for the use of the Tokhari language in everyday public life. The PDP is a longstanding member of Liberal International. The party and its affiliated organisations are widely classified as socially liberal because of their strong support for human rights, including strong support for gender equality, but they also advocate economic liberalism and a nationalistic Tokhari identity. The PDP also pursues an overwhelmingly pro-Western foreign policy. The party has been fronted since 2015 by Bahâr Kolite, former governor of Korla Prefecture and current MP for Lopnor County.
	National Party حزب ملت 民族黨	20	Right Tokhari nationalism; National Conservatism; Right-Wing Populism The National Party (حزب ملت hezb-e mellat; 民族黨 mínzú dǎng) is a conservative political party in Loulan. It is notable for its claim to being the oldest contemporary political faction in Loulan. The National Party was founded as a Loulan nationalist separatist movement within the People's Republic of China. The party's guiding ideology is that of Tokhari nationalism, with strong anti-immigrant and particularly strong anti-Chinese sentiments, maintaining a philosophy of Loulan First. The NP strongly opposes communism and socialism in all forms. Controversially, the party has no strong public stance on issues of feminism and gender equality, and many of its prominent members are outspoken chauvinists and traditionalists. The National Party has been headed since 2010 by Farzâd Kunlemen, MP representing Toksun County.
	Democratic Party حزب دموکرات 民主黨	38	Centre to Centre-Right Conservative Liberalism; Nationalist Integrationism; Agrarianism; Liberal Conservatism; Economic Liberalism The Democratic Party (حزب دموکرات hezb-e demokrât; 民主黨 mínzhǔ dǎng) is a conservative-liberal and agrarian political party in Loulan. It is the major party of the centre-right and the third largest party by membership in the country. The Democratic Party is categorised as centre-right on the political spectrum, as it is a market liberal party within the agrarian tradition, and today is notably more pro-free market than its counterparts. Some describe it as a classical liberal, since its leader from 1998 to 2005, Fardîn Roshani, is known for his authorship of the book The Minimum State. The party currently supports the enactment of a so-called tax stop in order to halt the growth in taxation which has been seen since the early 2000s. Democratic Party policy commonly falls under fire from parties on the left wing of Loulanese politics, allegedly being asocial and only for the wealthy. The party has been headed since 2009 by Siddhartha Liyâw, junior MP representing Tengri-Tâgh District, Urabo.
