Could we get a basic rundown of the parties? I'm just confused on your selections for certain politicians with regards to certain parties

I think I'd be a Progressive voter who sometimes votes Southern Labor, Labor, or Conservative.

Could we get a basic rundown of the parties? I'm just confused on your selections for certain politicians with regards to certain parties

The Conservative Party is basically the Republican Party, the Christian Right is the far-right faction of the Republican Party. Labor / Southern-Labor are moderate Democrats / Blue Dogs, Progressives are some Democrats / moderate Republicans. Liberal Democrats are establishment Democrats. Working Class and Populists are the same party, except they differ on social issues. Greens & Libertarians are the same as they are in the real world. Farmer Labor mostly focuses on environmental issues, social issues don't really matter.
