The '''Landlords' Party''' is a political party operating mainly in Ventarya and the Kiygrava that represents the interests of Landlords and other People of Land (PoL). Its legislative agenda touches on a number of related issues including property tax, tenancy law, land use and development regulations, building codes, and upholding civil liberties and nondiscrimination protections for people of land. | |||
The Landlords' Party has its roots in the networks of landlord militias that were formed during the [[Colour Wars]] to protect landowning families and their property from tenant rebellions and depredation and collateral damage by combatants. The party was organised quickly after the fall of Kirosocialism in order to advocate for the return of land that had been expropriated under the Kirosocialist régime to its rightful ownership, and to lobby for privatisation of the extensive public housing developments built during the Kiravian Union. | |||
The Party has ties to a number of influential trade industry groups in real estate and property management, as well as to local landlords' associations. Its electoral efforts have been focused on contesting local elections in [[Ventarya]] and [[Kiygrava]], and on endorsing candidates for statewide offices in [[Kiygrava]] via {{wp|electoral fusion}}. It is able to hold down as many as three seats in the Ventarya Burgesses, all of them representing {{wp|pocket borough|pocket boroughs}} whose electorates are controlled by local landlords that own most of the constituencies' land. | |||
