| [[File:Jacobo Mora pelaxia.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Jacobo Morda, leader of the Democratic Party]] | | Legally, Pelaxia is a {{wp|multi-party system|multi-party}} {{wp|parliamentary democracy}}, but throughout much of the history of the current republican regime it is more accurately described as a {{wp|dominant-party system}}, meaning that one particular party gets to dominate the nation's political sphere on the national level for multiple years at a time. Presently, this role is currently taken up by the {{wp|left-wing politics|left-wing}}[[Social-Labourist Movement]] (MSO) since the 2020s. The second-largest party ever since the MSO's rise to political dominance is the [[Fighting Margarita Party]] (PMC) which is a {{wp|populism|populist}} {{wp|social liberalism|socially liberal}} party which formerly served as the dominant party in the 1990s. Other notable national parties include the [[Pelaxian Socialist Workers' Party]] (PSOP), a {{wp|social democracy|social democratic}} party currently partnered with the MSO, [[Together for Pelaxia]] (JxP), a {{wp|paternalist conservatism|paternalist conservative}} party, and the [[United Montanarans League]] (LMU), a [[Montanaro separatism|separatist]] group for the nation's [[Montanarans|Montanaran]] minority. |

| ====Major political parties====
| | Uniquely, Pelaxia's political sphere is separated into the national level and the provincial level, as provincial political parties are not considered to be chapters or branches of a national-level party, but rather separate parties. |
| | |
| * Movimiento Social-Obrero - MSO ("Social-Labourist Movement"): The MSO is a left-wing party that emerged from the economic crisis of the early 21st century. Its main expansion and growth occurred during the government of Pedro Meireles, advocating for a productive revolution in Pelaxia towards a stable and mixed model of a social market economy.
| |
| | |
| * Partido Democrático - PD ("Democratic Party"): As the oldest active political party in the country, the PD follows a Christian democratic philosophy and is the founding party of the modern state apparatus. It currently operates as a socially centrist and economically right-wing party, and is skeptical of Caphirian integration.
| |
| | |
| * Partido Agostista - AGO ("Augustist Party"): Foundational party of the 20th-century democratic process, historically representing a third-way, big tent ideology. It promotes economic pragmatism oriented towards national sovereignty and autonomy, advocating for a market economy with active state participation as a mediator between different political-economic agents.
| |
| | |
| * Partido Socialista - PS ("Socialist Party"): A historically center-left party that has lost significant electoral ground to the MSO in recent decades.

| |
| | |
| * Partido Social-demócrata - PSD ("Social-Democratic Party"): A center-left party re-formed in response to the growth of left-wing and far-left parties since the early 21st century. The current Prime Minister belongs to this party. Skeptical of Caphirian integration.
