*A '''magenta current''' representing a revival of certain early 20th-century Kiravian progressive movements, such as [[Instructivism]], that helped to influence the development of Kirosocialism but were ultimately displaced by it. The magenta current presents itself as pragmatic, forward-looking, and attentive to contemporary social problems, to which it offers technocratic solutions inspired by modern science and {{wp|mainstream economics|mainstream economic}} studies. The magenta current is deeply suspicious of the financial sector and capital markets, but being outside of the socialist camp proper it takes no issue with the market economy itself, preferring directive and regulatory application of state power than in public ownership. It has been labelled by its detractors to the left as "naked dictatorship of the {{wp|intelligentsia}}" and by its detractors on the right as "{{wp|dirigism}} with a human face".

*A '''religious socialist current''' driven by {{wp|Christian socialism|Christian socialist}} and {{wp|Islamic socialism|Islamic socialist}} elements excluded from the [[Caritist Social Union]]. Inspired by {{wp|liberation theology}} rather than Kirosocialism, this current has a different image and voter base from the dark/bright and light red currents. Much of its support comes from Third Kirav and from agricultural workers, and unlike the other currents, it has a significant following outside Great Kirav, particularly in [[Sarolasta]] and [[Tiorentia]]. This current is especially prominent in the Farravonian states, an in [[Verakośa]], where Christian-left parties are the senior state-level PDF affiliates. Numerous Catholic university towns in Farravonia have had mayors in this vein.

The PDF and its members retain strong ties to {{wp|organised labour}}, particularly the [[Pan-Kiravian Congress of Trade Unions]], which is considered its ''de facto'' labour wing.

The [[National Union of Working Families]] is a Kirosocialist and social-nationalist interest group advocating for the rights an advancement of the ''[[yakav]]em'' or "village menial" castes, a historically disadvantaged stratum of Coscivian-Kiravian society. Similarly, the [[Revolutionary Vanguard of Depressed Castes]] is a left-wing Kirosocialist and Convist organisation that militates on behalf of the heavily discriminated ''[[harsit]]em'' castes, who were (and still often are) subject to strict social segregation and {{wp|untouchability}}. Both organisations predate the Kiravian Union and have always been closely tied to the PDF and its predecessors, retaining strong influence within PDF party structures even as the ''yakav'' and ''harsit'' electorate have diversified their political preferences and are no longer as reliable a {{wp|vote bank}} for the PDF as they once were.

==Voter Base==
==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}.
The PDF voter base varies by province according to local conditions and the prominence and organisational capacity of the PDF affiliate(s) in a particular province. Traditionally, its main reservoir of electoral support has been among {{wp|organised labour|organised}} workers in the manufacturing, mining, construction, transport, and infrastructure sectors. As support from this demographic has eroded since 2000 AD, the PDF has reached out more to service workers, especially those on the lower-end of the wage scale and without union protection or fringe benefits. Public-sector employees, almost all of whom are unionised, are a solid vote bank for PDF candidates, and their issues are at the forefront of provincial party platforms. The PDF also earns many votes from the {{wp|precariat}}, long-term unemployed, and those on public assistance.
 
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.
A notable, if not especially numerous, demographic segment of diehard PDF voters are the ''hūrithratśikya'' or '[[Red Cravats]]': university-educated, middle-class professionals with a generational affinity for the Kiravian Union and a strong attachment to pillarised organisations associated with the PDF and its affiliates.
 
A considerable portion of the caucus' voters belong to Antaric Coscivian ethnic groups. Antaric Coscivians were generally supportive of the Kirosocialist régime, and many urbanised Antarans did well under Kirosocialist rule. The same can be said of many East Coscivian ethnic groups, such as the Kašćevem.

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