Editing Political Parties in Eldid (section)

== Electoral politics ==
The three major national parties have historically dominated elections to the '''National Assembly'''. The Constitutional Party and Progressive Reform League represent the two oldest traditions in Eldidian parliamentary politics, while the Liberal Alliance emerged later as a major centrist and liberal force.

Because the Liberal Alliance occupies a position between the two older parties on several issues, it has frequently been positioned to cooperate with either side depending on the composition of the National Assembly.

Regional parties have generally had more limited national influence. The Highmere Independentist Party is the principal example, maintaining a parliamentary presence through its concentrated support in Highmere despite its inability to obtain a national majority.

The Republican Party has remained a minor parliamentary force.

The resulting party system combines '''long-established national parties with strong historical identities, a centrist liberal party, a significant regional independence movement and a small republican opposition to the constitutional monarchy'''.
