History
The current political party landscape of Roden is relatively recent, after two long periods of autocratic rule first under Josep-Maria Singlar (1950-1957) and later under Lucian Melz (1962-1986) with brief democratic, the first (1948-1950) and second republics (1957-1960). As a result, the modern Rodenian parties are very recent, with the sole exception of the PST. The political landscape is still dominated by the political faultlines that arose during FNR period (1960-1988) and the contrasting positions of the parties with regimes to this period, marked by remarkable but  and.

The dominant party of the Rodenian political system is the People's Party which appeared in 1993 after the merger of two of the largest parties of the transition period, the Social Federation of Independents (FSI) and the Democratic Centre (CD). Whereas the CD represented the moderate, semi-legal opposition to the FNR regime, the FSI was formed by the more moderate elements of the former dictatorship, like Rodolf Turchet. There are other minor centrist, forces in Roden such as Malia Pravesin's Movement of Citizens for Change (MCC), a  splinter party from the PP created in 1992; or the Poor Men's League, a  political outfit.

The Workers' Socialist Party was formed in 1955 from the left-wing of the Democratic Action Party. The PST was the most important opposition force against Melz's regime and counted on the support of a large part of the and the s. The other main left-wing force, the Green Alliance was formed after the merger of the radical, ecologist PER and the  GDS, a splinter of the PST's more radical wing. Both parties had their origins in the radicalised of the late 1980s

Since the early 2000s there is an ongoing process of reorganisation on the right, first with the merger of the two main liberal parties of the 1990s, the Liberal Union and the  PRD into the modern-day Liberal Democratic Union, but especially with the erosion and later disappearance from the parliamentary scene of the two major  of the transition period: the  Regional and Social Right (DRS) in the 1995 elections and the National Renovation party (RN) in 2005. Whereas the DRS was considered the spiritual successor of Singlar's, the RN was the outfit of the more conservative and radically technocratic elements of the FNR regime and its loss of seats at the national level was characterised by domestic and foreign observers alike as a sign of the definitive rejection by Rodenians of their authoritarian past.
