The '''Popular Democratic Front''' is a [[Caucus (Kiravian politics)|caucus]] in the Kiravian [[Federal Stanora]] made up of political parties and independents promoting a common platform of {{wp|socialism|socialist}} policies drawn mostly from the [[Kirosocialism|Kirosocialist]] tradition. The PDF was organised after passage of the [[Antipartisan law in Kiravia|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. Despite some electoral support in areas where Kirosocialist policies had been popular and where economic liberalisation had not been kind to local industries, the PDF failed to mount an effective opposition to liberalisation, and was gradually edged out from most of its support base by the [[Caritist Social Union]] and [[Coscivian National Congress]]. From 21189 until 21203, the PDF was a rather minor presence in federal politics, with its share of seats in the Stanora decreasing in each election, but some of its member parties retained varying degrees of power and influence in the politics of certain states. Since 21203, PDF affiliates have launched an electoral resurgence at the state level and begun increasing their federal representation.

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 [[Minor_Kiravian_Political_Parties#CPKF|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 [[[Minor_Kiravian_Political_Parties#CPGK|Communist Party of Great Kirav]] rejects coöperation with the PDF and CPKF, which it has denounced as reformist and revisionist.
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.
