The United States with Brazilian Parties

[Simfan34]

Accuse me of jumping on the bandwagon, but the political jingles get to you after a while. Well, here are the major parties:

The Labor Party is one of the primary parties in the United States, led by Dilma Rousseff, who succeeded Louis Sylvan, one of the party's most successful leaders in history. The Labor Party attracts its main support from the urban working class, the rural poor, and union members and African Americans in particular. They've struggled to win elections in the past, as they often prove unable to expand beyond their strongholds of the Deep South and the Rust Belt. Their fiscal populism and social moderatism attracts some, but alienates many, and it shows- the Labor Party is yet to produce a President. Perhaps Rousseff can build upon Sylvan's legacy.

The Social Democratic Party, despite its name, is not Social Democratic. Rather, it follows a policy of economic neoliberalism and social liberalism, endorsing civil unions, privatization, and access to abortion. This endears it to the broad middle and upper class, which it is often able to turn into majorities. This is most present in the the Northeast, Northwest, and Florida. Its present leader is Joseph Serra, who succeeded President Ferdinand Cardoza.

The Democratic Party has many followers but few believers. A catch-all party, it is often derided as a mere vehicle of the politically ambitious to get elected. Regardless, it is the largest party in both Houses of Congress, and holds a number of majorities in state legislatures. Its leader is Michael Temar.

The Progressive Party is also not progressive, but rather conservative. True social conservatism is rare in the United States, but the Progressives' fortunes are rising in the south and with Latino immigrants in the Southwest. Regardless, it is a major party with support across the country. It's most (in)famous member is Paul Malloof, the long-time Mayor of Chicago
