List of political parties in Pacitalia

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Pacitalia's proportional representation electoral system allows for smaller, regional, and special interest parties to enjoy long-term sustainability within the country's politics. However, as in other countries, national politics is dominated by a small handful of "big tent" parties.

Pacitalia is considered to be one of the earliest adopters of a party system, having had political parties since the 16th century. Elections Pacitalia, the government agency that supervises elections and referenda in Pacitalia, is responsible for political party registration and de-registration. The following lists sort registered parties by the size of their national assembly and whether or not they operate nationally or regionally. Note that some parties have larger presences in regional politics, compared to nationally, as of 2024.

Suspended or dissolved parties

If a political party is found to have violated elections law or other laws, Elections Pacitalia has the power to suspend their registration and effectively bar that party from contesting an election. In severe cases, the elections authority can dissolve a party. Candidates from a suspended or dissolved party may also be banned from running, or may have to switch parties or run as an independent candidate.

Recent examples of party suspensions are the Pacitalian Social Congress, which was suspended in 2011 due to campaign finance rule violations, and the Federation of Progressive Democrats, suspended in 2018 following the Dirty Fingers scandal. Both parties were reinstated.

No parties are currently suspended as of December 2024. No party has ever been dissolved.
