Federalist Party (Austria)
The Federalist Party (german: Föderalistische Partei), was less of a party in the traditional sense, than a coalition of various independent politicians, conservatives, and ethnic minority parties, dedicated to the Habsburg monarchy, and the federalization of ''Cis-Leithanian'', i.e. Austrian-dominated, part of the Austrian-Hungarian Dual monarchy.

The politics of the Federal party were staunchly Conservative and anti-liberal, in social, economic and political spheres. It sought to preserve the monarchy and the established order through federalization, bringing the Slavs equality relative to their fellow German citizens, constitutionally and socially.
