Li Ming Parliament operates on a ranked choice voting system, constituencies divided into city districts, orbital space, and rural swathes of planetary and moon surfaces. Four parties take up most of the seats.
The Farsight Party, the "Doves": The Farsighters dominate the younger, educated demographics in city centers, and a large majority of space colonists in the Li Ming system. They are primarily concerned with long term, large infrastructure projects, such as the New Dawn Project. Controversially in the HFR, the Doves also seek diplomatic ties with the Daqinren, as the space colonists share similar ways of life with them, and the younger generation having much more forgiveness towards them, and more open to their ideology.
The Unity Party, the "Geese": The "Geese" nickname was one given by members of the other parties: a lot of honking, some bite, and shits everywhere. The unitarians are primarily concerned with pragmatic, short to medium term economic growth, attracting corporate executives and a large portion of the planetary, urban population. It is ambivalent towards the Daqinren, more interested in maintaining strong economic ties with its HFR partners, the AU, and the GDW.
The Independence Party, the "Hawks": The "Hawks" constitute most of the older generation in urban centers and a sizable portion of the rural folk spread across Zhu Que. They carry human supremacist values, naturally having hostile stances towards the Daqinren, but also contempt for the Aos Si and Li Ming's HFR partners, resulting in mixed feelings from Shen Zhou. As the name implies, the Independents seek Li Ming self reliance, primarily through spreading across the Zhu Que planetary surface.
The Red Party, the "Blade Sparrows": The Reds take up their party name from the color of the Zhu Que vegetation. They represent most of the local Aos Si population and the other half of the human rural population. The Red Party seeks social and economic progress for the Aos Si, and interspecies cultural mingling. The Reds barely get along with the Independents due to their shared hostility towards the Daqinren and similar rural culture.
