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. ==History== Membership of political parties has been in decline in the UK since the 1950s, falling by over 65% from 1983 (4 per cent of the electorate) to 2005 (1.3 per cent).〔 John Marshall: Membership of UK political parties; House of Commons, SN/SG/5125; 2009, page 6. www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/briefings/snsg-05125.pdf Retrieved 5 January 2012 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Political party affiliation in the United Kingdom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
