When a fictional work features a politician, or two characters running for an elected position, often the parties they represent are not identified. If, for example, a movie features a President Evil, identifying their party might make a political statement that the writer does not intend to make. It may simply be a lack of commitment on the writer's part -- the character might espouse views from both sides. In any case, it avoids unnecessarily offending a large portion of the audience. Inverted when the character belongs to a real party. A third option is to invent a Fictional Political Party.

  • When a fictional work features a politician, or two characters running for an elected position, often the parties they represent are not identified. If, for example, a movie features a President Evil, identifying their party might make a political statement that the writer does not intend to make. It may simply be a lack of commitment on the writer's part -- the character might espouse views from both sides. In any case, it avoids unnecessarily offending a large portion of the audience. It sometimes stretches credibility, but sometimes not. Real-life politicians in the US often say "Smith for Congress" without mentioning party affiliation, but in Britain campaigns often give the party name, e.g. "Vote Labour/Conservative - vote John Smith". Some ballot papers don't name the candidates' parties, as in Britain until 1968, and some US elections today. Inverted when the character belongs to a real party. A third option is to invent a Fictional Political Party. Examples of No Party Given include:
