Sydona Islands: Difference between revisions

Sydona has a multiparty political landscape. Currently, the largest single party in the People's Assembly is the Convergence and Union Party (affiliated with the [[Shaftonist Republican Alliance]]), which draws support mainly from the urban Austral Coscivian middle classes, Mainlanders, and other Coscivian and Christian minority groups. The CUP supports market-driven economic development, maintaining a high level of integration with the rest of the Kiravian Federacy, and an inclusive, moderate conception of the state's identity that shies away from Austral Coscivian ethnonationalism. The Kirosocialist National Ba'ath Party (affiliated with the [[New Deal Alliance]]), is the oldest party in the state, and is supported most strongly by the urban working classes, Coscivian Sunnis, and Arabs. The KNBP is one of the most influential Kirosocialist parties remaining relevant since the National Renewal, and also one of the most hardline. It favours state-led economic development and a more authoritarian approach to governance, though in recent years its main rallying points have been increasing income equality, strengthening labour unions, and rejecting closer integration with the rest of the Federacy under capitalist rule, in favour of greater autonomy for Sydona and a degree of protectionism for the islands' economy. The third major political grouping in Sydona is the Seven Sons of Father Abraham, an alliance between the Christian People's Party, the Autonomous Popular Party, and five smaller parties making up the Islamic-Democratic List. Inspired by {{wp|Christian democracy|Christian-}} and {{Islamic democracy|Islamic-democratic}} thought, the SSFA promote a {{wp|social market economy}} and social conservatism. In contrast to the Islamic-Democratic List, the Islamic Da'wah Party (affiliated with the [[Caucus of Justice]]) calls for a more exacting and comprehensively Islamic reform of society grounded in Shi'i clericalism.
