The Lovian democracy as we know it today exists since 2003. Then, the council and the king as head became obsolete and the Congress was formed. Many political parties were formed then, together with the election procedure and a new Constitution. After the political system was overhauled with the 2007 Constitution, many old parties disbanded, making way for others. Lovia has a volatile political history, especially in recent years, and political parties often come and go quickly. Before 2003, parties were loose organizations, pressure groups, or local debate clubs, a lot of which had evolved into mature parties over time. On this page you can find a list of former parties and current ones. The latter category is divided over parties in Congress and parties without representation.
Lovia's political party system is in many ways influenced by the European model, with "liberal" and "socialist" parties rather than "democrat" or "republican".
Current political parties[]
Parties in Congress are listed by numbers of seats in Congress. If there is a tie, parties are listed by age. Parties out of Congress are listed by age. The renaming, merging, and reformation of parties resets the "Active since" section. In the case of a collective leadership, as in the case of CPL.nm, the party chairperson or spokesperson is listed.
