While the Social Democratic Union is considered dominant in Volkian politics, there are still strongholds of other political parties. Southern Volkia is widely considered to be a Social Democrat stronghold, while Northern Volkia tends to lean towards the Conservative Party and Monarchist Union. The west heavily supports Liberal candidates, though Social Democratic, Socialist, and Green candidates are often ranked highly on ballots from western provinces. |
