Line 187:
In the current day, Tavaris is a multi-party system in which coalition governments are common, especially since the dawn of the 21st century. The current governing party is Irínavi Voi! ("''Onward Together!''", self-described as a "big-tent coalition of the broad center." Its leader is Tavari Prime Minister [[Žarís Nevran Alandar]], who established the party to house her movement in support of the peace agreement and political settlement she negotiated, the Ranat Accords, in the elections of 31 May 2022. It is primarily neoliberal and technocratic, but since the election it has been noted for supporting significantly more government spending—even increasing government debt, at historic lows after Acronis assumed a third of Tavari national debt upon independence—than Nevran Alandar had ever advocated for under her previous party, the now-dissolved Democratic National Party (KDL).
The Tavari political left was briefly entirely housed in the Socialist Green Party for Democracy (ÍLKES), which formed in the 2022 merger of the Green Tavaris Party and the Socialist Party for Democracy, both of which had lost nearly half of their delegates in the Diet after Acronian secession. As the former Tavari Communist Party (now the Acronian Communist Party, in power in the elected Synod of [[Acronis|Acronis)]] had failed to file even a single candidate in the election, ÍLKES became the only option on the ballot left of center in nearly every Line, and therefore exploded in support relative to previous years. This coalition, however, fell apart over the course of the following two years, due in large part to unresolved differences between not only the party's two official subgroups, the Socialists and the Greens, but between factions within those groups as well. In 2024, ÍLKES split into four different political parties: Ítan Ladrena ("''For Democracy''," a [[New Progressive
The Tavari political right is similarly split but did undergo consolidation in the recent political realignment. The Liberals are one of the oldest parties in the country but have struggled in recent elections, especially hemorrhaging in younger supporters. In September 2021, defecting members of the KDL formed Coalition Right (KD, ''Kraníkar Devri''), which members called "a big-tent party of the right," and who returned in 2022 with precisely as many seats as they had held in the previous Diet. Other parties on the right included the Tavari Nationalist Party (KDT), who are generally described as far-right, and Republican Alternative (LD, ''Ladrena Drakinarerísmattivi''), which advocates for removing the monarchy but otherwise professes generally center-to-center-right policies. Both of these two are in separate confidence-and-supply agreements in support of Irínavi Voi's minority government. In 2024, KD and LD both agreed to merge into The Liberals, though 9 members chose to remain political independents instead. KDT refused to join the merger, citing its generally increasing poll numbers as evidence that has no need to consolidate.
