Voskian political parties
The Voskian political parties are normally identified by the abbreviations of their Voskian names. Full names of the parties exist however in Voskian, Gurdian and Romansh as primary language and are translated, if needed, into the other languages.
History
The Voskian parliament always had a large number of parties represented in it, until the election threshold was raised before the elections of 2010. From 1946 until the military coup 1993, the most important parties were the Kōdōdģē-Ģiēnikē Pàrtiā (K-ĢP, Social-Democratic Party) and the Vēdzē-Ģiēnikē Pàrtiā (V-ĢP, Liberal-Democratic Party). The prime ministers were most often members of one of these parties, although other parties, such as the Katūvikē Enōnēa (KE, Catholic Union) had their chances too. After the restoration of parliament in 1997 the Protàşvētij Dēmukracieş (PD, Champions of the Republic) became more influential, although they had their moments already in the '80 as well.
Current situation
Currently represented in the Voskian parliament are:
- Kōdōdģē-Ģiēnikē Pàrtiā (K-ĢP, Social-Democratic Party), 44 seats
- Protàşvētij Dēmukracieş (PD, Champions of the Republic), 42 seats

- Kōdikē Pàrtiā (KP, Communist Party), 9 seats
- Pàrtiā Agurkoded (PA, Agrarian Party), 7 seats
- Spundie Socialisc Agurkoded (SSA, Union of Socialist Agrarians), 3 seats
The governing parties are rendered in bold, the opposition parties in italics.
The PA and the SSA presented themselves with a joint list; on its own, the SSA would not have been able to secure sufficient votes to make it into parliament.
