The Workers' Party of Belgium is a Marxist and socialist political party in Belgium. It is the only Belgian party represented in parliament that is a fully national party,representing both Flanders and Wallonia. Having historically been a small party,the PTB-PVDA has gained momentum since the 2010s,continuously scoring better at the elections,particularly in Wallonia and working-class communities in Brussels.
The Federal Parliament is the bicameral parliament of Belgium. It consists of the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate. It sits in the Palace of the Nation in the centre of the nation's capital,Brussels.
Flemish political parties operate in the whole Flemish Community,which covers the unilingual Flemish Region and the bilingual Brussels-Capital Region. In the latter,they compete with French-speaking parties that all also operate in Wallonia. There are very few parties that operate on a national level in Belgium. Flanders generally tends to vote for right-wing,conservative parties,whereas in French-speaking Belgium the socialist party is usually the most successful one.
Federal elections were held in Belgium on 25 May 2014. All 150 members of the Chamber of Representatives were elected,whereas the Senate was no longer directly elected following the 2011–2012 state reform. These were the first elections held under King Philippe's reign.

The federal election was part of a group of elections which also include the regional elections and the European elections held on the same day. Some polls might be undefined voting intentions without differentiating between the elections.
