Levantine Union Party (Kiravia): Difference between revisions

The Party does not enjoy significant electoral support outside of the Far Northeast, most likely due to Kiravian political culture's strong national sovereigntism and mild xenophobia, as well as the fact that a constitutional amendment would be required to achieve the LUP's long-term goals. In fact, the LUP's continued electoral success is largely due to the {{wp|single transferable vote}} system and multi-member districts used for Stanora elections.

The party's strongest voter base are Kiravian citizens of mainland Levantine ethnic origin, whether naturalised or natural-born to one Kiravian parent (such as Secretary-General Vespasian Odrilaven whose mother is Urcean). Because immigrants of Celtic backgrounds are given higher priority in immigration and naturalisation procedures, Gaelic-[[Kuhlfrosians]] account for the largest proportion of this group. The party routinely fields candidates in the northeastern states of [[Fariva]], [[Ilánova]], the [[Kiygrava]], which have the Federacy's largest populations of mainland Levantines. In particular, the Farivan city of Epsilar, which is 30% Kuhlfrosian-Kiravian and 22% Urcean-Kiravian, is a hotbed of LUP support. The LUP also has chapters in [[Serikordia]] - the first state in which it was able to register as a party - and has recently founded new chapters in the island states of [[Uruvun]] and [[New Ardmore]], which have important historical and cultural connexions to Levantia.
