Popular Democratic Front

The Popular Democratic Front is a caucus in the Kiravian Federal Stanora made up of political parties and independents promoting a common platform of policies drawn mostly from the Kirosocialist tradition. The PDF was organised after passage of the Anti-Party Law as the successor to the People's Alliance, which had previously formed to take up the mantle of the Kirosocialist Party after its dissolution.

Platform
Provided below is the official common platform of the PDF for the 21206 federal election:
 * Establishment of a
 * Nationalisation of the Kiravian energy sector, mineral resources, railways, airlines, telecommunications infrastructure, and flannel cloth industry
 * A federally-financed, provincially-administered single-payer public healthcare system
 * Eradication of urban homelessness, slums, rural vagrancy, and substandard rural housing through an aggressive ten-year project of federally-financed social housing expansion
 * Aggressive development of rural broadband guaranteed internet access for all Kiravians
 * Restructuring labour negotiations nationwide to a tripartite model mediated by the government, as already exists in Devahoma, Vôtaska, and Intravia
 * Inclusion of the right to strike and the right to unionise in the Statute of Liberties
 * A policy of gradual for steel, automobiles, heavy machinery, furniture, plastics, and other select goods, achieved through subsidies and protective tariffs/quotas
 * No economic integration or enhanced migration régime with Mid-Atrassic Crona
 * Increased investment in nuclear energy, scientific research, and space exploration
 * A government-mandated inflation target for the RBK
 * A return to with a moratorium on overseas military deployments; withdrawal from the League of Nations and independence for Kiravian League mandates.

Factions
Envisioned as a broad front of socialist parties with a significant degree of ideological diversity among them, the PDF can be subdivided into a number of factions, officially termed "tendency groups"). 
 * Socialist Party of the Kiravian Federacy (SPKF) - Federation of Palæo-Orthodox and Neo-Orthodox Kirosocialist parties united in 21207 under Féraluir Sekerin, healing the rift between the old-guard "Continuity Kirosocialists" (who held closely to the policies of the Kiravian Union and attributed the fall of the Kiravian Union to counterrevolutionary subversion) and the reform-minded Neo-Orthodox parties who recognised the role of Kirosocialist policy failures in the Union's collapse and need for some degree of policy adaptation within an orthodox Kirosocialist framework. Since its formation, the SPKF has emerged as the largest and most powerful tendency.
 * Socialist Party of the Kiravian Union (SPKU) - Grouping of Palæo-Orthodox hardliners who opposed the SPKF merger and explicitly reject the legitimacy of the current Kiravian constitution.
 * Kirosocialists 2 - Dialectic Boogaloo (KS2DB) - Loose grouping of heterodox Kirosocialists, whether descended from dissident factions suppressed within the Party during the Kiravian Union or formed around new ideas and alternative models of political organising after the end of Kirosocialist rule. This faction acts less as an ideological tendency advancing a common agenda, and more as a technical group working to prevent the orthodox factions from imposing a strong ideological line on the PDF as a whole.
 * Socialist National Union (SNU) - Conference representing mainly Kiravian Social-nationalists who have dropped orthodox Kirosocialist commitments to class struggle, comprehensive social control of the means of production, and the construction of "socialist culture", returning to the classical teachings of Kiravian social-nationalism before the movement's merger into the Socialist Party. Also includes the non-socialist Kirav First Party and some "Kirosocialists of the 212th century".
 * Noontide Group - A grouping of socialist and left-wing populist parties working outside the confines of traditional Kirosocialist ideological frameworks and party structures. Includes many parties organised among non-Coscivian minorities, e.g. Camhchéachta and Tryhstia's Partido do Tarabalho, as well as "post-Kirosocialist" parties like Fariva's New Direction Party.
 * Alliance for a New Socialism - Conference of the state-level Kirosocialist parties that largely acquiesced to the post-Union political and economic liberalisations, moving toward "Kiro-social democracy" and "New Kirosocialism".
 * Progressive Alliance of Socialists & Democrats - A grouping of more Western-style social-democratic, democratic socialist, eco-socialist, and left-progressive parties from outside the Kirosocialist tradition. The PASD is the smallest tendency in terms of elected representatives and party membership, but has a growing presence at the local level in some cities.
 * Revolutionary Committee of the Kiravian Renaissance - A party of Shaftosocialists,, and Social Convists originating from the left-wing current that once existed in the Renaissance Party. Adherents of this current remained in Great Kirav after the Renaissance Party's flight to Æonara, where some were accepted by Kirsok as members of its United Front.
 * Kiravian Proletarian Parties - Faction representing the more expressly communist and/or convist elements that have always existed as a minority within the Kirosocialist movement and remained within the Socialist Party and its successors rather than join the CPKF or CPGK.
 * Union of Religious Socialists - Grouping of religious (mostly and ) parties, most of which joined the PDF after expulsion from the CSU for their anti-capitalism and radicalism.

Organisational Relations
The Communist Party of the Kiravian Federacy and the Existential Humanist Party (Marxist), while not members of the PDF caucus, do have formal relations with it and coöperate with it on many initiatives. The Communist Party of Great Kirav rejects coöperation with the PDF and CPKF, which it has denounced as reformist and revisionist. The PDF has a tense relationship with the Social Democrats KF.

The PDF and its members retain strong ties to, particularly the Pan-Kiravian Congress of Trade Unions, which is considered its de facto labour wing.

Voter Base
A considerable portion of the caucus' voters belong to Antaric Coscivian ethnic groups. Antaric Coscivians were generally supportive of the Kirosocialist régime and did well under Kirosocialist rule. The same can be said of many East Coscivian ethnic groups, such as the {Muśkem}. Pretannic Celts, especially those living in mining areas of Etivéra, Váuadra, Íarthakelva, Atrakelva, and Kiorgia, are a very strong demographic for the PDF, having wavered very little in their support for socialist parties since the Kirosocialist Period.

Although numerically insignificant in federal elections, various small and marginal ethnic groups that benefitted from government development projects under Kirosocialism, such as the Kiʞik Coscivians and the Salyar, continue to support socialism and provide an important source of votes for PDF affiliates in state and local elections.
