partido político 41
POLITICAL PARTY Entity with legal personality that concentrates members of the same ideology and that organize to represent and defend these interests in the government of a democratic and representative nation. Because of how the Jacobins and Gironians sat in the French parliament during the French Revolution, the right, or right-wing, and left-wing, or leftist parties are distinguished. The least extremists are the center parties. The parties select their candidates for public office elections, such as senators, deputies, mayors, governors and councillors, who are then voted for by the citizenry. Candidates who do not belong to any political party are called independent.
