Its support is strongest in the monied suburbs of the Greater Valēka metropolitan area. The Popular Party draws support from a broad cross-section of Niyaskan society, but its base is concentrated among Peninsular Coscivians (the state's largest ethnic group), Lusan Coscivians, and Catholics in the middle and upper-working classes. The Democratic Party draws its votes mainly from the working class and from the state's large industrial cities. The Niyaskan Whig base consists of middle class suburbanites of various backgrounds, farmers, many Æran Coscivians in South Niyaska, Niyaskan Kir, and members of the police, fire, and military services. | ||
