Political Parties of Australasia
Here you go. I’ll start with Australasia.
View attachment 421136
Labour: The main party of the left. Currently led by Kevin Rudd, though maybe not for long. More left-wing than Australian Labor, but with a much stronger faction of social conservatives.
Democrats: Centrist, maybe leaning slightly to the left. Led by Malcolm Turnbull. Popular among the progressive urban/suburban population. Lost a few MPs who defected to support Rudd's government, but keeping their crossbench seats warm.
National: The main right-wing party. Led by Gladys Berejiklian. The party of low taxes, big business, and, depending on who you ask, social conservatism. Very much a broad church - are its foundations strong enough?
The Greens: Still strongly environmentalist and a fledgling party without Bob Brown kickstarting it. Not a significant force - yet.
Rural Alliance: The descendants of TTL’s infamous Country Party. Rural interests are first for them, and everything else is a long way behind. Their stronghold is New England, where an embattled Barnaby Joyce is Premier. They used to be strong in Capricornia (then Cooksland), but they don’t like to speak about the Joh era.
Australasia First: TTL’s right-wing nutjobs. Fiercely nationalist and conservative, their leader is Pauline Hanson following Winston Peters’ retirement.
First Nations Party: The FNP represents indigenous interests in Australasia. They’re strongest among the Maori population, but they also attract significant support from mainland Aboriginals and some whites.
There you go for Australasia. Still working on the others. I can put it into infobox form soon.
But, that leads me onto my next bit. I’ve finished many of the things I had in the pipeline for this and the MOTF, and my exams are over now, do what would you like to see? It can be anything from around the world, and I’ll see what I can do.
