The NKP was founded in 1957 as a merger of the Conservative Party, National Liberal Party and the Catholic Social Party in order to create a big-tent party of the right. The NKP held government several times in the 20th century promoting centre-right and Sotirian democratic policies. It was in opposition from 1984 to 1999 before coming back to power under Rasa Šimonytė, the first Ruttish and female Chancellor who oversaw the Weranian response to the Great Recession. The party came back to power in 2019 under Otto von Hößlin who has supported a more national conservative and euclesceptic position.

It declined following the emergence of the SRPO and the Green parties with changes in the structures of the economy seeing a general decline in union based labour the OSAI relied on for its support base. It is still close to the General Federation of Weranic Workers' (ABOA), the second largest federation of trade unions in Werania.

The DA since 2019 serves in the federal government as the junior partner to the NKP.

Founded with close connections to the Ruttish clergy throughout the latter half of the 20th century it established itself as the largest party in Ruttland alongside the Social Democratic Party-Labour Union (the SRPO's branch in Ruttland) and the NKP. It also served in federal governments from 1999-2011 and 2015-2019 and provided parliamentary support for governments from 1963-1972. Although formed as an ultraconservative party the SDT has since been seen as a pragmatic force serving in coalition with conservatives, liberals and socialists.

1842 1951
Founded by the supporters of Ulrich von Bayrhoffers, the liberals supported anti-clericalism and Weranian nationalism. After the Easter Revolution the liberals moved to the right supporting rapprochment with the Church. In 1892 their left wing broke off leading to the liberals to form a coalition with the church. The liberal party would become a core component of centrist and right-wing coalitions in the early 20th century. The liberals often represented right-wing liberalism, although due to the rise of socialism and the decline of the radical party steadily moved to the far-right throughout its existence often embracing authoritarian tendencies. In 1951 they merged into the LDPO.
Legitimist Party

A loose political grouping rather then a coherent political party, the Legitimist Party tended to represent the conservative wing of Weranian politics. The bloc was divided between more absolutist and more liberal factions that meant despite its dominance in the Bundestag it often was not an effective political bloc. As a whole it tended to oppose social reforms and support bureaucratic control. When the liberals moved to the right under the Prince of Oppolzer the Legitimists faded from the political scene.

Initially the radicals were those who supported the reestablishment of a Weranian republic and were mainly made up of members of the Septemberists. The failed Easter Revolution led to a collapse of the republican movement in 1856, leading to the republican bloc in the Bundestag to be marginalised. The radical party was founded as the first organised political party in Werania representing radicals, liberals and republicans. The party led progressive governments from 1903-8 and 1911-13 but lost its pre-eminent position on the left after the rise of the socialist OSAI party due to the Great Collapse. The RP was a member of the popular front government of 1915-1918 but soon began to participate in various centre-left, centrist and right-wing governments. The foundation of the PMZ in the 1970's led to the radicals to decline in support and merge with the social democrats to form the SRPO in 1977.

The Catholic Bloc represented the first organised force for political Catholicism in Werania being founded in reaction to the Prince of Oppolzer's attempts to bring Catholics into the political area, a trend largely supported by the Adalbertine movement. The Catholic Bloc led by priest Georg von Kupferblum who led ultramontane opposition to the Prince of Oppolzer. They would soon absorb the Legitimists and emerge as the main right-wing party in Werania, being the dominant political force in the first half of the 20th century participating in every cabinet from 1914 to 1950 aside a nine-moth interregnum from 1918 to 1919. The KSP maintained a national conservative right faction, a centrist faction and a left faction throughout its existence but after the Great War the right faction became ascendant leading the Fatherland Bloc. The KSP led Werania into the Valduvian-Weranian War and became associated with the Weranian defeat. Their left wing split off to form the Sotirian Democratic Party and they were heavily defeated in the 1950 election. The KSP merged into the LDPO.

The first Weranian socialist party, the OSP was created by the esteemed scholar Ludwig Vollmar. The OSP contained a variety of political opinions but tended to be more revolutionary then other socialist parties, supporting both scientific socialism and syndicalism. It was commonly accused of impossibilism by its opponents. The OSP joined with the Weranian Socialist Workers' Party in 1901 to form the Weranic Section of the Workers' International.

The JRP was formed in 1876 following the failure of Chancellor Franz Gustav von Reichenstein to extend home rule to Ruttland. Comprised primarily of Ruttish intellectuals the JRP was part of a general movement that revived the Ruttish language and cultural aspects, being firmly rooted in liberal assumptions. The JRP pushed for home rule albeit factions within it favoured outright independence. The JRP was dissolved in 1930 during the Great War after the Weranic government feared it would side with the Gaullican-backed Liplisqués Government.

The Landbund was formed following a liberalisation of agricultural tariffs in 1897. The Landbund mainly came from small tenent holders, becoming the main representatives for rural Werania. The party was ideologically flexible having both agrarian socialists and völkisch politicians. The party would move to the right following the Great war but after the Valduvian-Weranian War they moved to the centre. It was named the Centre Party from 1942 onwards and in the 1980's would be part of the Social Democratic Radical Bloc. They did not federate into the unified SRPO instead reforming as the Modern Centre Party.

The SPO were founded in 1919 as the pro-war wing of the OSAI party that supported conflict with Kirenia which the OSAI government had opposed. Although founded "supporting the revolutionary proletariat" the SPO soon moved to the right adopting a revisionist and reformist line. During the 1950's it formed the grand coalition between the OSAI and KSP before largely aligning with the OSAI and RP against the NKP. In 1977 it decided to merge with the RP to form the SRPO.

The OSU steadily moved to the right engaging in paramilitary violence as they secured support from ex-servicemen. It was dissolved in 1942 by the Weranian government after Höcker attempted a putsch against the Weranian government.

A centrist Ruttish regionalist party, the TS-DK was intended to represent "soft nationalism" uniting both Ruttish nationalists and other voters who were unhappy with the incumbent OSAI-dominated governments. The TS-DK was broadly centrist although had a strongly liberal approach to economic affairs. The party would form a coalition with the NKP in Ruttland for much of the 1990s and following the 2003 election served on a federal level as well. After 2007 it faced strong competition from the more nationalist National Coalition for Independence and faced an electoral wipeout in 2011; the party lost the remainder of its seats in 2015 and subsequently dissolved.
