List of political parties in Melite

This article lists political parties in Melite.

Since the inception of its communist and unitary predecessors up to the present federation, Melite has evolved significantly in terms of parties in government and representation in Parliament. The Melitian political scene is currently dominated by the Melitian Christian Parliamentary Alliance, and Democratic Rally, a minor party a junior partner in the coalition government. The MCPA is an electoral alliance and coalition of two parties, being the Christian Nationalist Party, operating federally and the North Zagorian Christian Nationalist Party operating only in North Zagoria. In the Socialist Fgura Special Administrative Region, the two seats of its regional council are held by two independents.

History

The dominant factor in Melitian politics was always the Christian Nationalist Party, the non-legal successor to the Potato Party, which was the sole legal party in the communist period. From 2021 forward, Melite developed first into a two-party state with the Christian Nationalist Party and the Anarchist Party dominating the Melitian political scene, and then to a multi-party democracy towards the end of 2022, with the emergence of the short-lived opposition 'Melite Now!' party, and the still existing North Zagorian Christian Nationalist Party, and Melitian People's Worker's Party. The last party to be registered is Democratic Rally, located in Castra Lamia overseas territory of Melite.

Active Parties

Two independent politicians make up the Fgura Regional Council, and another independent holds a seat in the Parliament of Melite.
