The Federal Party is a centre-right political party in the United Kingdom of Vionna-Frankenlisch. In existance since 1982, it has remained a small party in the House of Commons due to thin electoral support. It currently returns 8 MPs, along with 13 affiliated Registered Peers, 1 County Council Seat and 1 Advisor to the Royal Upper Parliament (holding the position of Colonial Advisor).
The Federal Party was founded in 1982 by Sir Anthony Walthem, a prominent Conservative backbencher. He was joined by several Conservative and Imperial defectors, most notably Jarred Harrison, the present Minister of Welfare. Though the party has managed to amass a network of wealthy patrons and has run notably impressive campaigns since the 1986 election, it has consistently failed to garner much public support as many consider it a party of few stances. It frequently returns fewer than ten MPs and has never returned more than thirteen (in 2003).
The Party is positioned on the centre-right wing of Vionna-Frankenlischian politics and is economically neoliberal. The social positions of the party vary, they are mostly conservative but some can be considered liberal. Primarily, the party is Federalist and stands for strong local government, preferably independent to noble rule. Some more extreme members of the party, such as Henry Kemper have argued for the abolition of all aristocratic privilege but it is not a view official to the party.
