List of political parties in Saint-Baptiste

Saint-Baptiste has a two-party system, in where two dominant parties have the ability to form government, with others having extreme difficulty achieving electoral success. The two main parties, the Baptistois Liberal Party (PLB) and the Saint-Baptiste Reform Party (PAREF), have traditionally been referred to as ideologically similar, with the main political divide in Saint-Baptiste being between the successors of the former Bachelet regime in the PLB and those that supported the transition to liberal democracy during the 1990s in PAREF.

Since 2010, some experts have said Saint-Baptiste is moving towards a "two-party-and-a-half system" ("Système bipartite et demi") with the recent success of the Baptistois Labour Party, but most still consider the PLB and PAREF dominant in the country.
