This is a list of political parties in Superior
The Kingdom of Superior is a multi-party democracy with many political parties. Major and minor parties are determined by federal representation, with parties with seats in either the High Council or House of Delegates being classified as major parties, while parties with no representation in the federal legislature are considered minor parties. Parties with only state or local representation are also considered minor parties. Since the beginning of Superior, the Liberal Democratic Party and the United Conservative Party (and its predecessor the Conservative Party) have dominated Superian politics, with a majority of presidents of Superior adhering from one of those two parties. The only president not to come from these parties, Floyd B. Olsen, was from the Farmer Labor Party, the traditional "third party" of the country.
Since the 2010s, national politics have been dominated by two major political coalitions, the left-leaning Progressive Bloc and the conservative National Coalition (previously known as the Conservative Coalition). The majority of parties with elected representation in parliament are part of both coalitions with all Members of Parliament in both the government and opposition being affiliated with both coalitions. Several minor parties hold seats in parliament with the majority of them sitting crossbench with the largest being the Reform Party, a former Progressive Bloc member and a notable third party that rose to prominence in the 2010s.
Outside of the centrist/big tent Reform Party, other minor parties have risen to prominence or notability in parliament such as the First Nation Party, an ethnic party to represent the interests of Native Superians (the First Nations) and is ideologically left-leaning, being described as social democratic like the Farmer Labor Party. The New Labor Party is the newest political party in the country, being formed in 2021 from the New Farmer Labor Parliamentary Group that comprised the party's most left-leaning members. Self-identifying as democratic socialist, the New Labor Party is the only socialist party holding national political representation. Several other minor parties exist while lacking parliamentary representation, holding seats in local offices such as county commissions, city councils, and other local legislative and governmental bodies.
