Political Parties of Kidulia
I haven't forgotten this, don't worry!
I'm currently working on an infobox for Poland and a graphic about indigenous rights, and then I'm planning to focus on Kidulia in detail. In the meantime, though, here is a list of Kidulia's political parties.
While the left-right division still exists in Kidulia, its politics has historically been defined by its relationship with other Indonesian-speaking nations, most notably Nusantara, with whom they have a long-standing rivalry. Thus, governments have historically switched between Pan-Red (advocating for Indonesian unity and a single Indonesian nation, often at the expense of the Indigenous population) and Pan-Black (advocating for Kidulia first) coalitions.
Serikat Nasional (National Union): The main right-wing and pan-red party. Historically Kidulia's governing party for many decades during the period of National Guidance, and historically authoritarian, but now reformed a bit to be a stock-standard centre-right party advocating for Indonesian unity.
Partai Keadilan Rakyat (People's Justice Party): Kidulia's dominant left-wing, pan-black party. Served as the main opposition for many years, now supporting national unity and the elimination of inequality between Kidulia's many cultures. Generally closer to the other Australian nations, rather than the Indonesian ones.
Partai Komunis Kidulia (Communist Party of Kidulia): Very left-wing. Their belief in the need for revolution means they are a part of the pan-red coalition. In fact, the PKK has historically participated in governments with the SN. Probably the most aggressive, foreign policy-wise.
Berrkmirriŋu: Indigenous rights party. Name derived from a Yolŋu word meaning roughly "many people". Its main support base comes from the Yolŋu people, who have interbred with Indonesian migrants, becoming a distinct ethnic group in their own right. They are officially an indigenous population though, and retain many of their old customs. As the largest Indigenous group in Kidulia, they dominate the party (in addition, some desert tribes don't even know there are elections, let alone vote in them). Economically left-wing, and a member of the pan-black coalition. Their social views are informed by tribal customs.
Oranjepartij (Orange Party): Regionalist party for the Dutch-speaking population of Diemensland (OTL Kimberley). Advocates primarily for that population and the most outspoken member of the pan-black coalition. Socially conservative, but economically interventionist.
