The politics and governance of Vesienväl take place within the framework of a one-party socialist state. Nominally, the supreme body of the country is the Supreme Council of Workers, a unicameral legislature elected every 5 years. However, in order to stand for election, one must either be nominated by the United Workers' Party or present the district electoral council with a petition signed by ten percent of the registered voters in the district and stand as an independent. This functionally gives the power to the United Workers' Party, which is itself acknowledged in the Constitution as the "primary organ for organizing worker's power" in the State, the position of most powerful body in the country. |

Since the 1980s period of reform, governance in Vesienväl has shifted over time to emphasize local control rather than national control, though the single-party model centered on the United Workers' Party remains in place. |
