Overview
Ossetia has a standard system of government for the Centauri Confederacy, it is headed by the Prime Minister who has a Parliament beneath him. This page lists the political parties and groups currently represented within the 100-member Ossetian Parliament.

The Ossetian Popular Front

 * Founder: Ymir d'Gauge


 * Chairman: Joseph Bo'Seng


 * Position: Centrist to Conservative


 * No. of Seats in Parliament: 32

The Ossetian Popular Front is currently the largest political party in Ossetia, claiming roughly a third of the system's inhabitants as members. The OPF, or PopFront as it's commonly known, is a center-to-conservative party dedicated to maintaining the status quo in Ossetia. Accordingly, their popularity tends to fluxuate up and down based on how content the populace is, the higher number of Ossetians who are in PopFront, the higher the number are content. As such, the party is often used as a gauge to determine the wellbeing of the system.

The Liberal Party

 * Founder: Eduard M. Sengarret


 * Chariman: Djouta Magte


 * Position: Liberal


 * No. of Seats in Parliament: 32

The Ossetian Liberal Party is, as its name suggests, the primary Liberal organization within the Ossetian Government. Typically, the Liberal Party advocates greater social reforms, particularly in the area of helping the poor. They have recently made large political gains, and are now tied with PopFront as the largest party in Parliament.

The Independants' Coalition

 * Founder: N/A


 * Chairman: N/A


 * Position: Variable


 * No. of Seats in Parliament: 18

The Coalition is not a party, but rather a league of unafiliated individuals who have nothing in common sans their being unafiliated. These particular parliament members will vote however it strikes them, rather than for any particular party line. One of these (Markhus Kroeh) was expelled from his previous party, the Popular Front.

The Ossetian Socalist Union

 * Founder: Abner Gauzegang


 * Chairman: Lorayne Seklovis


 * Position: Socialist


 * No. of Seats in Parliament: 10

The OSU is one of the newest political parties in Ossetia and one of two that represents the Socialist minority in the system. Unlike the more Communist ODSP, however, they do not advocate a change in form of government. Merely how that government operates.

The Ossetian Social-Democratic Party

 * Founder: Spelt Gengly


 * Chairman: Asher Dyrgasseng


 * Position: Communism


 * No. of Seats in Parliament: 3

The ODSP are part of the larger radical Communist movement in the Centauri Confederacy, like the centralized Centauri Communist Party, they support the abolition of the monarchy and a "dictatorship of the people". Some of the more radical members have been known to resort to violence, and for this reason, the ODSP has long been considered a shady, even criminal organization. But attempts to ban the party have been narrowly rejected each time they have been put to a vote.

The Peace Party

 * Founder: Edgar Esnoble


 * Chairman: Eileen Sawong


 * Position: Liberal Pacifist


 * No. of Seats in Parliament: 3

The Peace Party is the Ossetian branch of the Centauri Peace movement, they are projected to make heavy gains in upcoming elections and support negotiations with the Federation.

The Ossetian Seperatist League

 * Founder: Ilwax Yamatoeng


 * Chairman: Ilwax Yamatoeng


 * Position: Planetary Independance


 * No. of Seats in Parliament: 2

The OSL is a party that advocates planetary independance for Ossetia, it split from the more radical (and violent) Ossetian Liberation League in 2989 and has held a small fraction of the Parliament since then.
