Political parties in Libertas Omnium Maximus
Political parties have existed in Libertas Omnium Maximus since the emergence of the modern Maximusian state in 1840. On the federal level (and in most provinces), no elected office requires the holder or candidate to be affiliated with a recognized political party, but most modern Maximusian politicians do choose to associate themselves with one of the major Maximusian political parties. The current President of Libertas Omnium Maximus, Lucas Brown, is a National Conservative, while the Chancellor, Edward Banks, is a Progressive. There are eight political parties with at least one incumbent member in either chamber of the Maximusian Senate.
