Political parties of Alduria-Wechua/notes

So quick run through the federal political system, I have this envisioned at the moment:

• Aldurian political parties (DemSoc, LDP, ANA, Indy) + Wechua political parties (SocDem, CRC, N&H, A&CP, Commies) + restored old Alexandrian parties in Valencia and Santander (UMD, LA, PSDA, Greens, RFE) = the Alduro-Wechua political system;
• Each one of these parties then join grand federal coalitions to compete in elections, help each other, supporters tactical vote where they can, etc. The two biggest of these grand coalitions are divided into early US-style Federalists and Anti-Federalists.

Two biggest coalitions:

• Federalists: Coalition for Federal Progress
• Anti-Federalists: Anti-Federalist Coalition

I feel this is the best way to get all the small national parties eventually merged into a bigger political group and eventually everyone under it simply competing under one big federal list, just to simplify things

Thoughts on the process: Start by painting regional brush strokes. The coalitions can have different strengths in different regions/areas. Some examples: in Alexandria, Valencia was one of those places that were the heart of the old PSDA. Altus in Alduria is a right-wing populist stronghold (Aldurian National Alliance). Santander used to be a Liberal Alliance stronghold because of Primo. So on, so forth. And basically start to color in what areas are what politically based on ethnic makeup, rural/urban, etc etc.

I'm starting to align the left, the Aldricists, the liberals, and the N&H into the Federalists. Added to them would be the old Alexandrian UMD, the LA, and the Socialists. A broad left-right front that is very pro-Federalist.

Some of the more conservative parties would, of course, be in the Anti-Federalists, like the Aldurian National Alliance. Maybe the Liberty & Democracy Party depending on where Velez and Seydlitz wanna go. The Conservative and Royalists in Wechua would be split - comparable to how Brexit had pro and anti inside the Conservative and Labour parties.

Narratively this can set things up nicely to a healthy and natural pro-Federalist national bias. Like, I think it's natural there would be opposition and that this could be something that folks would find hard to reconcile in a lot of places. But ultimately the Federation will last and instead channel the conversation to be more like the early US-style Federalist vs. Anti-Federalist in the way that the debate wasn't so much over whether everyone should be together in one country, but in that it's about what the balance between regions/local govt and the federal government should look like (so that we can be a bit more like Switzerland in the long run).

I had these thoughts and wanted to get them out somewhere
