Quetzenkel is considered a {{wp|multi-party democracy}} by most international observers since the end of the Royal-led state of emergency in [[2026]]. All of the political parties presently in operation were established after [[2016]]; before the implementation of the modern Constitution, the primary instrument of political organization was the tribal unit. Since the establishment of the party system, parties are the primary means of political organizing, but tribes still have general political affiliations, both in terms of ideology and with specific parties.
 
There are two major political parties in Quetzenkel:
*The '''Progress and Nation Party''' (PNP). The PNP is a center-right party which is both modernizing and Occidentalizing in outlook. The PNP is generally considered to be the political coalescence of the "Royal faction", with some of the King's closest allies making up party leadership. The Party is also generally supportive of the King's pre-2026 efforts and, in public discourse, is quickest to hagiographize the [[South Nysdra War]] and the King's installation as the signature event in modern Quetzen history. A majority of the nation's tribes are affiliated with the PNP, and it is the party of the urban intellectual and educational elite, as well as most of the politically relevant Catholics within Quetzenkel.
*The '''Revolution for the Future Movement''' (RFM). The RFM is a center-left to left-wing party that is generally supportive of modernization but is extremely Occidentoskeptic, incorporating a number of populist slogans and rhetoric in its overall platform about ensuring that Quetzenkel remains a powerful, independent, distinctly Cronan country. It is in favor of a more robust role of government in the economy and is generally {{wp|social democratic}} in its economic outlook. Despite its name, the RFM is generally (if tepidly) supportive of the 2016 Constitutional system. It has the support of the outstanding share of the tribes that do not support the PNP, including the more progressive and liberal tribes.
 
Since [[2016]], the PNP has been the majority party in the National Assembly. There are also a number of smaller parties which operate on the departmental level, as well as about ten independent members of the National Assembly as of [[2034]] who primarily identify with their tribe rather than with a political party.
