List of political parties in Hoterallia
In Hoterallia, any organization that supports a candidate needs to register itself as a political party. Each of these parties has some local or national influence.[1] This article lists political parties in Hoterallia with representation in the Hoterallia's National Diet, either in the House of Representatives (Hoterallia's lower house) or in the House of Supervisors (Hoterallia's upper house). The article also mentions political factions, blocs parties, and several other political entities within the nation that used to be within a representation or currently exist.
Hoterallian political parties and independent politicians would take sides with a faction (党派, Tōha) that shares the same ideologies with them. These factions are the representation of many parties, politicians, and organizations that are not influential enough to go mainstream or to make their votes count during sessions in the House of Supervisors and the House of Representatives.[2]

The factions served as a balancer in Hoterallian politics, but due to their broad usage, many parties and individuals would create their separate bloc (同盟, Dōmei) in these factions to consolidate more influence for their ideological pathways. These blocs usually originated from a centralized ideology or a political party that creates the foundation for later members to join.
