Parties
National Union Party
The National Union Party, Pàrtaidh Nàiseanta an Aonaidh, is Paleocacher's dominant political party. It is center-right in political orientation. While generally leaning towards fiscally and socially conservative policies, the party is firmly behind equal rights for all and deemed necessary social welfare programs. The primary interests of this party are the national economic prosperity and security.
Paleocacherian Democratic People's Coalition
The PDPC, Co-bhanntachd Daoine Deamocratach Paleocacherian, is the successor to the center-left SOCP. It is generally in favor of expanding social welfare programs and is in favor of reforming the National Healthcare System of Paleocacher. This party's primary interests are an increase of power in the favor of the federal level government, a basic income, and improved education and healthcare social safety nets.
Paleocacherian Socialist Party
The PSP, Pàrtaidh Sòisealach Paleocacherian, is a far-left party that broke off from the SOCP in the 1980s. This party supports nationalization of businesses and mass media. It is opposed to widespread freedoms of speech, religion, and press. The PSP envisions a Paleocacher with forced equality between all including a mandated national healthcare and education system, guaranteed basic income, and harsh penalties for speaking out against the government.
Domestic Liaison Group
The DLG, Buidheann Ceangal Dachaigheil, is a very socially and fiscally conservative party that is resurgent since Paleocacher's involvement in Aurebeshia. None of the current members were elected but declared allegiance to the party in preparation for the 2022 election cycle, defecting from either the NUP or the PSP. This party is dedicated to strong border security, a strong Paleocacherian military, and financial independence from the rest of the world. It is dedicated to Paleocacher first and has a strong Nationalist base.
Green Paleocacher
Green Paleocacher, Paleocacher Uaine, is one of the oldest parties and consistently supports expanding renewable energy programs and promotes sustainability, climate change restrictions, and restrictions on big businesses.
