=== Political parties ===

The [[W:Conservative liberalism|conservative liberal]] All-Burimyner Citizen’s Party is currently the largest political party on the island, having maintained a parliamentary status since its inception in 1914. The party promotes a balance between [[W:Progressivism|progressive]] policies on tackling ethnic inequality and [[Specism|speciesm]] on the island, as well as a firm belief in promoting and protecting shared cultural values and traditions, arguing for a [[W:Polyculturalism|polycultural]] society which is above [[W:Identity politics|identity politics]]. The party currently cooperates with the second largest party, the Burimyner Watchmen Party, or BWP. The BWP, which has a strong relationship with the federal Libertarian Party, promotes an adherence to [[W:Right-libertarianism|libertarian capitalism]], which has been argued as a cornerstone of Vistari political establishment. The party's platform is focused on individual liberty, limited government and an opposition to [[W:Economic interventionism|economic interventionism]], including the expansion of [[W:Welfare|social welfare programs]]. As such, it pulls a majority of its support from Vistarian business-elites, and advocates for the interests of business on the island. As with the [[Joint List (Vistaraland)|alliance]] between Libertarians and Imperial Conservatives in Vistaraland proper, the BWP signed an agreement with the Imperial Conservatives of Blokkarima in 2021, agreeing to only go into government together - forming the basis for the third party in the coalition. The Imperial Conservatives of Blokkarima, while retaining considerable ties with the Imperial Conservative Party as a whole, is primarily a sister party to the Imperial Conservatives of Ankbhaja. As such, while adopting some aspects of [[W:Royalistic Populism#Loyalist%20reformism|liberal royalism]], the party remains closer to the less [[W:Moderate conservatism|moderate conservative]] roots of the party, opposing an expansion of [[W:LGBT rights by country|LGBT rights]] and the defamation of Vistari colonial legacy. The island's government therefore constitutes a [[w:Centre-right_politics|centre-right]] platform, with views on the island's status ranging from the [[W:Autonomism (political doctrine)|autonomist]] platform of the Citizen's Party to the Imperial Conservative support for the establishment of the island as a separate, integrated province.

The largest party in opposition is the Green Progressive Party, a [[W:Centre-left politics|centre-left]] party which emerged during the 1990s to combat the effect rising sea levels could have on the island, as well as provide an alternative to the emergence of [[W:Social conservatism|socially conservative]] tendencies amongst both government and opposition parties. The party's platform of [[W:Cultural liberalism|cultural liberalism]] and [[W:Environmentalism|environmental action]] has seen it rise to prominence on the back of support from younger generations on the island, and has been the party most active in promoting political engagement in the youth. The party's take on promoting equality and social progress notably allowed it to surpass the previously major Worker's Front for Democracy, which emerged in the 1940s as a more conventional left-wing party of the [[W:Labour movement|labour movement]]. The Worker's Front for Democracy, known by the abbreviation AFD, historically focused on the interests of [[W:Blue-collar worker|blue-collar workers]] - supporting the creation of [[W:Trade union|trade unions]], increased worker's rights and safety standards in the workplace. Though originally [[W:Socialism|socialist]] in nature, the party became dominated by a more economically moderate and patriotic faction which could be more accepted by the Vistarian population. This, however, led the AFD towards taking stances in support for protecting Vistarian and Suvan workers from underpaid work from migrants or the indigenous population, causing the party to shift towards the right in terms of social policy. Another party which shares its small seat count with the AFD is the Missionary Association, a party that exists both in Ankbhaja and Blokkarim Island. The association was originally formed as a [[W:Advocacy group|pressure group]] founded by predominantly [[Vierism|Vierist]] missionaries with the aim of instilling [[Ademarism|Ademarist]] values into the political system, and would emerge as a anti-[[W:Secularism|secular]] party promoting a government inspired by religious values alongside a [[W:Social market economy|social market economy]], mirroring the contemporary Moral Ademarist Centre. The party primarily competes with the Imperial Conservatives, arguing the party has strayed too far from the expression of religious values in governance and opposing deregulation.

While persisting as the smallest party currently in the Municipal Council, the Burimyner-Suvan Reformist League serves as an important player in the island's politics, acting as its sole pro-[[W:Secession|independence]] party, as well as historically the party most successful in protecting and securing rights for the Suvan population on the island. Formed in 1912 as a group opposed to Vistari rule on the island and seeing the War of Imperial Succession as a route to independence, the party grew in popularity in its first few years as a way of resisting the new administration, before its eventual decline culminating in the Suvan Exclusion Act of 1922. which would suspend electoral rights for the party's base. Following a successful petition to the Vorpestian Government to repeal this act in 1931, the party would enjoy continued but limited success as a movement to maintain Suvan traditional hierarchies and restore the culture of the island preceding the influx of Vistarian people.
