Political Parties

This page lists political parties present in the Federal Republic of Europe.

Federal Parties
Federal-level parties function as consolidated groups of politicians from various Member States, who represent their ideology in the Federal Parliament. They represent all the peoples of Europe, are elected on a single federation-wide list, and should work for the good of the federation as a whole.

Progressive Party for Solidarity / United Left (PPS/UL)
Formed after a Europe-wide consolidation of various Social Democratic, Socialist, Communist, Green, Pirate and Progressive national parties, the PPS/UL represents the left wing of the Federal Parliament. They are a big-tent party with members ranging from moderate progressives to hardline communists. While this has lead to significant disputes during the formation process, eventually enough national groups have come together as one to represent progressive, left-wing values inside the Federal Parliament. The partnership seems to be holding, at least for now, but there is no telling how such extensive internal fracturing will affect the party in the months to come.

Progressive Group for Change (PGC)
The PGC was formed as a sort of "centre hold" for those who were not enthused by the idea of working with either the communists or the far right. Mostly centrist in nature, the leaning of the group changes mainly according to it's current leadership. Members of the PGC are often proponents of the "Third-Way" and economic liberalism. Many of the European liberals have coalesced in this party. While a centrist alignment has given the PGC a wider appeal, many feel that it has also made it somewhat bland and lacking in conviction.

Union of European Conservatives (UEC)
The UEC was formed trough a merger between various right-wing entities on the European political stage, ranging from traditional social conservatives, to religious focus parties, centralists and nationalists. Nearly all the Eurosceptics who have previously opposed the creation of the Federal Republic are now a part of the UEC. This has had the unfortunate side-effect of making the party somewhat distant and disorganised when it comes to Federal-level politics, with decision making torn between federal and national interests.
