*** The Republic of Arcasia and the Republic of Lespia are run by the pro-capitalist Democracy Party and Democrazia Lespia respectively.

** The main political parties of the [[VideoGame/StarFox Lylat system]] are the Crown Loyalists (officially conservative, but stated to be centrist by modern real life standards), the Lylat Progressive Party (compared to a mix of the British Liberal-Democrats and American Democrats), and the Labour Party (leftist; described as more syndicalist than socialist).

** There's also the National Bocialist Party, which is a bunch of thinly-disguised Nazi leaders trying to revive their political power by contesting a by-election in Minehead.

* On ''Series/AdamRuinsEverything'', Adam explains how gerrymandering works using the Yellow Party and the Purple Party. In terms of their actual positions, the Yellow Party believe all gay people should be required to own guns and [[IrrationalHatred all people named "Trevor" should be executed by the state]], while the Purple Party believes "all guns are gay" and want to pass a law requiring babies to vape.

* On ''Series/AdamRuinsEverything'', Adam explains how gerrymandering works using the Yellow Party and the Purple Party. In terms of their actual positions, the Yellow Party believe all gay people should be required to own guns and all people named "Trevor" should die, while the Purple Party believes "all guns are gay" and want to pass a law requiring babies to vape.

* On ''Series/AdamRuinsEverything'', Adam explains how gerrymandering works using the Yellow Party and the Purple Party.

** The Federalist Party, consisting of non-socialist figures from pre-revolution who remained like Clarence Edward McCartney and Calvin Coolidge, is the most openly reactionary and hostile to the socialist revolution (though not to the point of sedition), condemning the 'excesses' of the revolution and calling for restoration of the old flag, capital and traditions of old America.

* ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'': Pinky ran on the Pink Party's ticket. The party predated Pinky himself, although its only resource was a bus and its only staff member was [[BeenThereShapedHistory the hapless engineer of every major political gaffe in the past 40 years]], such as telling Nixon to sweat to win the nervous man's vote.

* ''In The Red'' by Mark Tavener features the Reform Party, which was an actual 19th century UK party. In the book it still exists in the 1990s and is similar to the Lib-Dems at the time, claiming to exert a "moderating influence" on the main parties (when in fact it exerts no influence at all). Their slogan is "You Know Reform Government Works," but the LemonyNarrator says that no one does unless they remember 1903. By the end of the book they've become a major player, after their leader not only helps catch a murderer, but gives the most impressive speech of his career (his speechwriter accidentally left the Dictaphone on while having sex; this was dutifully typed up and handed to him).

* ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'' gave us the Meadow Party, which the main characters formed each election year and seemed to rely more on political double-speak and good publicity than actually, you know, taking a stand for anything. It ran presidential candidates in 1984 and 1988 and lost both times.

* ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'' brings us 'Ingsoc' (English Socialism), normally referred to simply as 'The Party' after they've long since gotten rid of the competition, forming a totalitarian regime. Judging from what little history we can discern, they were originally a very left/communist party which formed in Britain or Europe, eventually succeeding in revolution. Their communist beliefs about social equality were all just a sham, or have long since become one- the only thing The Party wants is power. There are two similar parties controlling the rest of the world, Eurasia apparently following Neo-Bolshevism; whilst Eastasia follows a philosophy "called by a Chinese name usually translated as Death-worship, but perhaps better rendered as 'Obliteration of the Self'".

* In Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom TL ''Literature/AGiantSuckingSound'', the premise is Ross Perot winning the 1992 election. When his attempts at bipartisanship fail, he creates the Freedom Party, a mix of centrist and center-right politicians, political radicals, and others dissatisfied with the two-party system. Its recruits include Democrats Paul Tsongas, Jerry Brown, Joe Lieberman, and Howard Dean; former Republicans John [=McCain=], Warren Rudman, and Arlen Specter; libertarians like Ron Paul and L. Neil Smith; independents like Bernie Sanders, Angus King, and Jesse Ventura; radicals and activists like John Hagelin, Ralph Nader, and Al Sharpton; and other celebrities like [[Music/DeadKennedys Jello Biafra]], Creator/DonaldTrump, and [[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]].

** Christian Values, a far-right party of Christian fundamentalists who quickly absorb the old Dixiecrat vote. [[spoiler: By 1990, after the fall of Rumsfeldia, they take control of much of the country, and turn it into an oppressive theocracy]].

* In the alternate history timeline ''{{Literature/Reds}}'', as the TL develops, new political parties form, but usually out of existing political parties. And the parties that have the same name tend to have diverged in radically different ways to become InNameOnly versions of their OTL counterparts.

* ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'': Pinky ran on the Pink Party's ticket. The party predated Pinky himself, although its only resource was a bus and its only staff member was [[TheGump the hapless engineer of every major political gaffe in the past 40 years]], such as telling Nixon to sweat to win the nervous man's vote.

* ''[[http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/doku.php?id=timelines:tl-191_after_the_end Timeline-191: After the End]]'' has a lot of this going on:

* In ''{{Superman}}'' comics, [[PresidentEvil President]] [[ComicBook/LexLuthor Luthor]] represented the Tomorrow Party...well, to be precise, he ''founded'' the Tomorrow Party at a press conference where announced that he was running for President, but "not as a Democrat or a Republican, because both their ideas are too old." While the books didn't elaborate too much on the party's politics, what we saw during Lex's initial declaration of candidacy and in the months after he was elected indicated that the party's politics were probably centrist, with conservative viewpoints on fiscal issues and liberal views on social issues. Lex's platform also apparently contained a pledge to move towards renewable energy and to put technological innovation at the forefront of his platform. In the first few months of his presidency, Lex also "passed the most sweeping education reform in American history," but it was left deliberately vague as to what exactly those reforms were (which is probably for the best, seeing as how ''any'' type of education reform tends to be extremely contentious in RealLife).

** When the election campaign for [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Dave the Orangutan]] was covered in the story arc, "Portrait of a Politician," every social clique was shown to have formed its own political party and running its own candidate, many of which would kill each other in mob riots leading up to the election. Named parties include the Apathetic Fringe (who don't care about any issues), the Young Norms (presumably an anti-[[{{Mutants}} mutant]] lobby), the Lib-Lab Flab Party (presumably a Liberal-Labor party amongst the Big Meg's morbidly obese population), the Uglies (just ugly people), and the All-Out-War Party (a group of BombThrowingAnarchists). When the All-Out-War Party starts stirring up trouble, Dredd gives them exactly what they want.

* ''[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/burn-them-all-an-alternate-history-of-westeros-following-the-desolation-of-king’s-landing.509835/ Burn Them All]]'' sees multiple party-like factions eventually emerge in the Middle Council, the proto-legislative body that's formed to provide Westeros with stability following the DecapitationStrike that is the Desolation of King's Landing. The whites are traditionalists who want the king to be the highest authority (with a subset called the wyrms who want the king to have ''absolute'' authority), the reds are separatists who want the Seven Kingdoms to become independent of each other again, and the bronzes want the Middle Council itself to become the highest authority, with the king becoming a figurehead.

* In Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheDeadZone'', Greg Stillson forms the America Now party after he gets into the Congress as an independent. He's obviously based on John Birch Society-style right-wingers, though.

* Major parties of Mega-Primus Senate in ''VideoGame/XCOMApocalypse'' are NotSoDifferent rivals [[http://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Extropians Extropians]] and [[http://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Technocrats Technocrats]].
