Political party affiliation in the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Membership and supporter status within political parties in the United Kingdom typically contain restrictions including:
- Age restrictions
- Citizenship restrictions
- A commitment to the party's principles
- Limiting holding membership of other political parties
- Limiting standing against officially endorsed candidates
- Membership of specifically prohibited political parties
- Personal conduct expectations and party rule compliance
Practically, involvement in a political party without membership may limit an individual's involvement. Parties that offer a lower level of affiliation, such as supporter status tend to have looser constraints.
