The Apolitical Democrats (or Apolitical Party) is a British political party, launched as a campaign in 2007 to allow non-aligned candidates to collaborate and be supported through the election process in United Kingdom local elections.[1][dead link] The Apolitical Democrats registered as a UK political party in 2010 and fielded David Yates as its first General Election candidate.[2][dead link]
Apolitical Democracy is synonymous with nonpartisan politics which political science denotes as an election, event, organization or person which is free from party affiliation, bias, or designation.[3]. The organisation defines "Apolitical" as ‘politically neutral, unbiased, non-aligned’, and "Democrats" as ‘believers in the democratic right of people to choose who represents them in government’.
