List of Urcean political parties: Difference between revisions

The "'''Levantine National Party'''" is a political party in [[Urcea]] advocating the creation of a unified "Levantine nation" in most of the southern [[Levantine Union]]. While originating as a single issue party in [[2004]], the party has since become a partner with both major parties on Levantine Union defense and trade issues, aligning particularly closely with the [[Solidarity Party (Urcea)|Solidarity Party]]'s view of Urcean responsibility to the Union. The Party has two major factions, conventionally called the "grays" and the "golds". The majority "grays" (which is the party's official color) are considered center to center left {{wp|internationalist}}s, who believe that Levantine integration will be to the benefit of its members and will bring the major geopolitical developments that began with the [[Caroline Wars]] and [[Fraternal Wars]] to a close. The "gray" faction largely eschew esoteric or intangible arguments about Levantine nationality and instead favor a more {{wp|progressive}} post-nationalist position. The "gold" faction are mostly staunch [[Levantine identity|Levantine nationalists]] who believe that the Levantine nation must be revealed through cultural measures and that it must be unified as a state to protect the interests of Levantine people. The "golds" range from left wing to far right wing, with many proposing a pseudo-[[Restarkism|Restarkist]] position that the institutions of history and the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] have artificially kept the Levantine people apart. Most LNP members are ambivalent on the question of monarchy or republic, and both the gray and gold factions are divided on the question as well. The "purples" are considered a loose third minority faction of both grays and golds which believe [[House de Weluta]] should be {{wp|head of state}} of a Levantine state. The LNP is loosely associated with [[Kiravia]]'s [[Levantine Union Party (Kiravia)|Levantine Union Party]]. The LNP presently has three members.

 

===Working Families Party===

The '''Working Families Party''' is a political party in [[Urcea]] which describes itself as a "Catholic [[Synodalism|synodalist]]" party and as the "party of the {{wp|Christian left}}. It was established as a splinter faction of the [[Social Labor Party (Urcea)|Social Labor Party]] in [[2026]] by newly elected members of the [[Concilium Daoni]] of that party who were frustrated by the {{wp|secularist}} tone of the party. The Working Families Party, accordingly, embraces the interplay of Catholicism and Synodalist Marxist thought, and some party members have noted that its views are compatible with {{wp|Liberation theology}}. The party presently has 5 members, and journalists have noted that it may stand to surpass the Social Labor Party in the [[2030 Urcean elections]] based on some polls.
