Revision as of 22:12, 22 July 2006
Bolivia has a multiparty system. This is page is SLOWLY being updated as I have time.
Bolivia's political party system was, until recently, dominated by three parties: MNR, ADN, MIR. These three provided presidents in each post-transition election; they occupy a centrist position. The poor showing of 2002 ADN brought questions about the party's continued relevance.
Three major neo-populist parties emerged in the 1990s: Condepa, UCS, NFR. The 2002 Condepa showing suggests the party has no future.
Bolivia's ideological left is traditionally weak, and split into three broad categories: katarismo, syndicalist, social-democrat. By the 2000s, the most significant party in the syndicalist tradition was MAS; the most significant party in the katarismo tradition was MIP; the most significant party in the social-democrat tradition was MBL.

It is sometimes difficult to distinguish political parties from civic groups; the two often interact significantly. The above list is limited to groups that actively participate in electoral politics. For others, see Civic Groups.
