 Political Activities - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes it does, because regardless of when or where a political activity is exercised, it may, depending on the nature of the activity and on the employee's specific circumstances, impair or be perceived as impairing the employee’s ability to perform his or her duties in a politically impartial manner.
No, political activities have to be assessed on a case-by-case basis in light of employees' specific circumstances, to determine whether the activity would impair or could be perceived as impairing the employee’s ability to perform his or her duties in a politically impartial manner.

 Socialist Action/Canada
In fact, the political funding reform, which will force all taxpayers to fund the capitalist parties, including some of the most reactionary candidates on the ballot, may hamper the unions and the NDP, while facilitating for the big business parties a windfall of corporate donations made through wide loopholes in the law.
The Parti Quebecois (which is wrongly seen by many as a social democratic party) suffered defeat at the hands of its own supporters who protested PQ social cutbacks by staying home on election day, April 14.

The decision was welcomed by the Council of Alternative Political Parties, a coalition that includes the Reform Party, the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, the Natural Law Party and the U.S. Taxpayers Party.

 Reason Magazine - Third Parties, Fifth Rate?
These days, we have two "third parties" that more or less take seriously certain attitudes implicit within limited factions of the two major ones: the Libertarians for strictly limited government types who find the GOP too statist, and the Greens for environmentalist/anti-corporate/mega-welfare state types who think the Democrats have sold their souls to monied interests.
Ideological third parties are in a pretty inescapable trap in our current electoral system—no coincidence, as the rules are written by, and for the benefit of, the two major parties.
And if libertarian-minded would-be political activists had pursued a Religious Right strategy of doing the party scutwork at the precinct level, thus achieving disproportionate power in the party apparatus, we might have a much more libertarian Republican Party today.

 Descriptions of state gun cases
However, as to rights listed in the Constitution, like the right to free speech, or assembly, or to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, these are usually presumed to be fundamental, and are thus subject to so called "strict scrutiny" analysis.
This case was dismissed in July, 1997, after proceedings after remand, based on the parties representing to the court that a settlement had been reached, although the settlement was not presented to the court to be made an order of the court.
The court found that some of the listed weapons, even if they were really machine guns and not semi-automatic firearms, were still banned, or that the machine gun and semi-automatic version were banned by the ordinance.

 Australia's Political Parties: More Regulation?
Parties which by reason of their aims or the conduct of their adherents seek to impair or do away with the free democratic basic order or threaten the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany shall be unconstitutional.
A party that does not wish to meet these requirements could operate as a cadre party and select its parliamentary candidates by a committee or indeed the nomination of a single leader, but they would not then be able to pretend to follow democratic practices.
If the parties' candidate selection rules were, as a condition of funding, to be made available to the public so that voters may judge for themselves the fairness of the processes, then the parties would, insofar at their formal practices are concerned, be more likely to comply with basic democratic standards.

As a result of the lax party registration laws that allowed this party and other similar parties to stand candidates, the electoral legislation in the ACT was changed to provide that parties must have 100 members and a constitution before they could register.
This was a real political party, created like some other nonsense parties, as a reaction to self-government being forced on the Australian Capital Territory -- despite two referendums at which the ACT electorate declined to buckle under and agree with the then Prime Minister of Australia, Bob Hawke.
Party made the first ACT Legislative Assembly election into a national joke, and us locals still regularly use the inside joke of the name of this party.

 Political Punch
Though the initial attacks on American embassies that prompted the cruise missile response were well-documented and irrefutable, numberous questions were raised about the political motivations of the counter-attack, so much so that intelligence officials went to extraordinary lengths to reveal the evidence that led them to pick those particular targets.
The most cherished axiom of American foreign policy is that politics stops at the water's edge, meaning that political opponents support the President when missiles are flying.
This is especially important as we live in a polarized political environment where people are quite reluctant to question their own opinions as it is. We should all endeavor to make it as easy as possible for others to consider all sides and make a rationale decision based on the available data.

 Donald Duck Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the very most, the Donald Duck Party has scored enough write-in votes at points theoretically to be the country's ninth-most-popular (in 1991, with 1,535 votes).

Unfortunately, various parties on both sides of the gun debate have attempted to use this bill as a vehicle to address the separate issue of private property rights vs. gun rights.
One aspect of gun shows that politicians may appreciate (or fear) is that they are a gathering point for political free speech among people with generally conservative beliefs.
Besides looking at guns, people at gun shows learn how be politically active, meet candidates, register to vote, and organize to share information about candidates and their positions.

The only two ways a third-party candidate for office could get the party name listed on the ballot were to have 5 percent of the registered voters in the state be registered for that party, or to get 5 percent of the vote in the most recent presidential election.
Because the candidates from smaller parties couldn't be identified by party affiliation, people who went to the polls weren't able to vote for the Libertarians unless they knew them by name, Mouser added.
The new law stipulates that any party that has 1,000 registered voters in the state and has paid a one-time fee of $1,000 will be represented on the ballot, as will any party that has had a candidate receive at least 5 percent of the vote in any statewide election.
