The Popular Democratic Front is a caucus in the Kiravian Federal Stanora made up of political parties and independents promoting a common platform of socialist policies drawn mostly from the Kirosocialist tradition. The PDF was organised after passage of the Anti-Party Law as the successor to the People's Alliance, which had previously formed to take up the mantle of the Kirosocialist Party after its dissolution.
Platform
Near-Term Objectives
Provided below is the official common platform of the PDF for the 21206 federal election:
- Establishment of a socialist market economy
- Nationalisation of the Kiravian energy sector, mineral resources, railways, airlines, telecommunications infrastructure, and flannel cloth industry
- A federally-financed, provincially-administered single-payer public healthcare system
- Eradication of urban homelessness, slums, rural vagrancy, and substandard rural housing through an aggressive ten-year project of federally-financed social housing expansion
- Aggressive development of rural broadband guaranteed internet access for all Kiravians
- Restructuring labour negotiations nationwide to a tripartite model mediated by the government, as already exists in Devahoma, Vôtaska, and Intravia
- Inclusion of the right to strike and the right to unionise in the Statute of Liberties
- A policy of gradual import substitution for steel, automobiles, heavy machinery, furniture, plastics, and other select goods, achieved through subsidies and protective tariffs/quotas
- No economic integration or enhanced migration régime with Mid-Atrassic Crona
- Increased investment in nuclear energy, scientific research, and space exploration
- A government-mandated inflation target for the RBK
- A return to armed neutrality with a moratorium on overseas military deployments; withdrawal from the League of Nations and independence for Kiravian League mandates.
Ideology
Factions
Envisioned as a broad front of socialist parties with a significant degree of ideological diversity among them, the PDF can be subdivided into a number of factions, officially termed "tendency groups").
Organisational Relations
The Communist Party of the Kiravian Federacy and the Existential Humanist Party (Marxist), while not members of the PDF caucus, do have formal relations with it and coöperate with it on many initiatives. The Communist Party of Great Kirav rejects coöperation with the PDF and CPKF, which it has denounced as reformist and revisionist. The PDF has a tense relationship with the Social Democrats KF.
The PDF and its members retain strong ties to organised labour, particularly the Pan-Kiravian Congress of Trade Unions, which is considered its de facto labour wing.
Voter Base
A considerable portion of the caucus' voters belong to Antaric Coscivian ethnic groups. Antaric Coscivians were generally supportive of the Kirosocialist régime and did well under Kirosocialist rule. The same can be said of many East Coscivian ethnic groups, such as the {Muśkem}.
Pretannic Celts, especially those living in mining areas of Etivéra, Váuadra, Íarthakelva, Atrakelva, and Kiorgia, are a very strong demographic for the PDF, having wavered very little in their support for socialist parties since the Kirosocialist Period.
Although numerically insignificant in federal elections, various small and marginal ethnic groups that benefitted from government development projects under Kirosocialism, such as the Kiʞik Coscivians and the Salyar, continue to support socialism and provide an important source of votes for PDF affiliates in state and local elections.
