New Veltorina is a {{wp|multi-party democracy}} in theory, with moderately well constructed political systems ensuring free and fair elections. In practice, however, New Veltorina is a {{wp|Dominant-party system|dominant-party state}}, led by the Party for the National Movement (PNM). Most policy disagreements and change in power usually take place within the context of the PNM. The PNM maintains its hold primarily through cultural and social pressures on New Veltorines rather than by state-based intimidation, though isolated incidents of voter intimidation have been recorded. Besides the PNM, there are three other major parties.New Veltorina's major political parties are as follows: | New Veltorina is a {{wp|multi-party democracy}} in theory, with moderately well constructed political systems ensuring free and fair elections.

Besides the PNM, there are three other major parties.New Veltorina's major political parties are as follows: | ||
* The '''Party for the National Movement''' (PNM) | * The '''Party for the National Movement''' (PNM) is the ruling political party in New Veltorina. It is a {{wp|nationalist}} party that is ostensibly an "[[Wittonian socialism|organic socialist]] movement party", but in many senses the Party is a {{wp|big tent}} political party; some have observed increasing strains of [[Restarkism]] entering the party since the accomodation was reached between Cronan Veltorines and the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]]. The PNM was formed out of the political elements of the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]], the wartime military resistance against [[Varshan]]. It is avowedly pro-[[NSTA]] and was the primary agent behind the current Constitution of 2028, and of all of the political parties it is the one most closely identified with and largest supporter of the notion of New Veltorine being a self-described "{{Wp|ethnostate|ethnic state}} of Veltorines." | ||
* The '''Socialist Revolutionary Industrial Progress Party''' (SRIPP) | * The '''Socialist Revolutionary Industrial Progress Party''' (SRIPP) | ||
* The '''International Veltorine Party''' (IVP) | * The '''International Veltorine Party''' (IVP) is a centrist {{wp|Liberalism|liberal}} party, generally concerned with {{wp|free trade}} and reconciliation with [[Caphiria]], but also has a minor focus on enhancing the civil rights of New Veltorina's indigenous Cronan population. The IVP views the existence of the New Veltorine state as an opportunity for Veltorines to denounce their ideological past but also to step onto the world stage as a full participant in international diplomacy rather than, in its words, as a "bitter, defensive minority trapped in a siege mentality." The IVP supports [[NSTA]] as a defensive alliance but views its import-ban and exclusive trade policies as harmful to the Veltorine people. The IVP denounces the concept of New Veltorina as an ethnic state and supports its reform as a "multiracial, multiethnic democracy" similar to states such as [[Cartadania]]; some factions in the party also support revising or replacing the [[Julian republic|Julian]] 2028 Constitution. | ||
* The '''Party of the Continuing Revolution''' (PCR) | * The '''Party of the Continuing Revolution''' (PCR) is a far left political party which espouses {{wp|council communism}} and denounces the SRIPP and constitutional socialism as {{wp|Revisionism (Marxism)|revisionist}}. The PCR-SRIPP split predates the settlement of Veltorines in [[Crona]], being founded among exiles in [[1954]], and the disagreement between council communists and constitutional socialists dates to before the dissolution of the original Veltorine state. The PCR is generally [[Urcea|Urceo]]skeptic, opposes continued membership in NSTA, opposes New Veltorina's status as an ethnic state, and, as council communists, generally advocates for the dissolution of the state. It is {{wp|abstentionist}} in practice, and usually comprises only a handful of members of the National Convocation. | ||
