| | Political party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In parliamentary systems of government, most political parties have an elected leader who, if his or her party is elected by absolute majority, or with a relative majority within the coalition where tradition is thus, becomes head of government. | | | In presidential systems, the President may be elected as a representative of his party, however in many nations he is forced to relinquish his connexions with his party upon the assumption of office as head of state. | | | Generally speaking, over the world, political parties associate themselves with colors, primarily for identification, especially for voter recognition during elections. |

| | The role of President of the assembled European Council is performed by the head of government or head of state of the member state currently holding the Presidency of Council the European Union. | | | The role as president is in no sense equivalent to a head of stateship, merely a primus inter pares (first among equals) role with other European heads of government. | | | As the proposed new Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe now proposes to switch the rotating presidency to a 2½-year chair (see below) and all member states' governments have supported the draft, this issue now seems to be off the political agenda. |

| | The Commission of the European Union recently published its proposals for the funding of political parties of member states. | | | The Explanatory Memorandum goes on to say that in order for a political party to be registered it must "ensure that the statute and activities of the European political party respect the basic purposes of the Union with regard to freedom, democracy, human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law". | | | This would mean that the UK Independence Party would immediately fall foul of the Commission because one of its aims is British withdrawal from the Union. |
