Madeira's political landscape has undergone significant changes over time. As an autonomous region of Portugal, Madeira has its own regional government and parliament, allowing for self-rule in many areas. The Social Democratic Party (PSD) has traditionally dominated local politics, but in recent years, the Socialist Party (PS) and other smaller parties have gained influence, shaping policy in areas like tourism, economic development, and social welfare.
