Rusana is a multi party democracy, as such many political parties participate in its electoral system. The current ruling and largest party is the [[Rusana Patriotic Alliance]] (RPA), a big tent or catch-all party that was formed by the National Congress for the Defense of the People in the aftermath of its victory in the [[Rusani Civil War]]. Originally deriving its power and legitimacy from its affiliation with the armed forces, it has transitioned to cultivating the support of the middle and upper urban cohorts, the professional class and ethnic minorities. The party advocates for relatively moderate state intervention in the economy while allowing private actors with enough incentives to compete, a decent social network and policies of international neutrality and good neighborliness with [[Daxia]]. The RPA is the leading party of the Builder's Alliance in the Majles by a large margin, with 252 out of a total of 329 seats. Other important parties in the Builder's Alliance are the Party of God that has corralled the votes of the Shia sector, the Party of Rusani Democrats which is an ideological offshoot of the [[Party of Daxian Democrats]] and caters mostly to people living in border cities and the Daxian minority. | |||
The opposition rallies around the conservative bloc named the Alliance for Prosperity. The largest component is the Jamaat-e-Islami, the formerly banned Islamist party that lost the civil war and was proscribed for several decades. Jamaat advocates for the implementation of Sharia as the law of the land, and the literal interpretation of its words to permit harsh sentences such as stonings, lashings and executions for infractions such as idolatry, adultery, imbibing alcohol and homosexuality. Jamaat supports the creation of a paternalistic state that has a strong grip on people's private lives, it is also at the very least unwelcoming of foreign influences in Rusana. Other parties in coalition with Jamaat are the Bakers Party, a party that mostly runs on a single issue, keeping the price of bread low. | |||
