In the Union of Christian Nations, political parties are organisations that co-ordinate residents for the business of elections and government with the intention of futhering the party's agenda. Due to the Senate's proportional representation system, political parties play a major role in Senate elections. The Union of Christian Nations has had a long tradition of political parties, dating back to the establishment of the now disbaneded, Christian Democratic Party in 2018. Since then, the UCN has seen the growth of political parties from across the ideological spectrum. Notably, UCN political parties are required to be non-sectarian, which was upheld by the Supreme Court in the case The thaindom of the shire v Ewereni [2021], UCN Supreme Court 2 (Part 2).
Registering a Political Party
Any resident of the UCN may found or join a political party. Article 24 of the Constitution provides for political parties and parties are regulated by the Political Parties Act 2019.
To register a political party you need to have:
a) A Factbook that has (a) an overview of the party and (b) a list of its members
b) At least 2 members.
c) Then contact The UCN Infocentre once these prerequisits have been met and the party will be registered.
