No Party Given	comment	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. A President who is a heroic Action Politician? Same problem. 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 and Canada, campaigns often give the party name, e.g., "Vote Labour/Conservative/Liberal/NDP — vote John Smith" (okay, in that case, you're voting Labour or NDP). Some ballot papers don't name the candidates' parties, as in Britain until 1968, and some US elections today. Others only name the party without naming candidates, especially those for closed-list proportional representation elections, where the party is what you vote for instead of individual candidates. Populist regimes usually put the emphasis on their political leader rather than the party, and when he's not running personally they use Advertising by Association on their candidates. Conversely, candidates for judicial posts will generally have no party given because ethically judges are supposed to be politically neutral. A different version of this trope is to have the character be an independent, even though non-affiliation in most Western democracies (especially those with proportional representation, where seats in Parliament are doled out by how many votes a political party has gotten) is fairly rare - even the United States, which does not hand out Congressional seats by party, at the moment only has two Senators who are officially independents (Bernie Sanders and Angus King), both of whom caucus with the Democratic Party (and both from New England, funnily enough), and no independent members of the House of Representatives (ever since Justin Amash (MI-03), an ex-Republican who broke with the party for various reasons decided to join the Libertarians) or independent governors. Although county and lower levels of government tend to avoid this. Compare: Fictional Political Party, Parts Unknown. May be considered an application of the Ban on Politics. Examples

No Party Given / int_10254bd5	comment	The Thick of It simply has "The Party" and "The Opposition", but it isn't hard to guess who their real-life equivalents are (Labour and the Tories, respectively). The last series added the "Coalition Partners" (partners to the above-mentioned Opposition, who are now in power). They are clearly the Liberal Democrats.

No Party Given / int_15ec5cef	comment	Commander in Chief had Geena Davis' Vice President run as an Independent with suggested libertarian leanings. When she ends up assuming the presidency after the current president dies, this is brought up as a subject of disquiet more than her gender is. She canonically started out as a moderate, New England-style Republican (flashbacks in the Pilot episode show the Connecticut Republican Party recruiting her to run for Congress and she became the arch-conservative President Bridges's running mate because he needed a moderate Republican to balance the ticket). After this, though, she officially became an Independent.

The issue is skirted and it falls on the writer of the story to make a hinted alignment. However, seeing as how he is opposed to issues not present in our real world as his only defining political characteristic, it mostly boils down to rhetoric a party would use to justify the reason for the registration.

No Party Given / int_230b3240	comment	Jack Ryan, from the Tom Clancy novel series, is explicitly described as an independent, though he clearly holds policies that mark him as a very conservative Author Avatar. Ed Kealty comes close, but it's quite clear that he's nothing more than an amoral, conniving man who's politics only matter in which of Ryan's statements he twists to meet his needs. Durling, while obviously a liberal (as he is Fowler's VP. a character who is clearly in opposition to Ryan's conservatism) is clearly respected by Ryan and returns that respect. Fowler himself is shown as a good man, with very cogent arguments against Ryan's politics and views, his treatment of Ryan bordering on persecution is clearly shown as being caused, not by political differences, but because of misinformation and distortion of the man by Liz Elliot, who maintains a vendetta against him up until her complete breakdown after Denver got nuked. As for Ryan himself, he's very conservative, and something of a Gary Stu, but his views very much resemble real-world ones, if somewhat simplified for plot reasons.

No Party Given / int_25615740	comment	Head of State goes out of its way not to say which side has nominated Rock's character for the presidency, partly by giving his opponents traits that would work for either party. Among other things, it's mentioned his opponent has been Vice President for 8 years which, since the movie came out in 2004, clears up nothing. Rock's former position of being a DC Alderman would strongly imply that he's a Democrat, or an independent, since the Democrats aren't allowed by law to control every seat on DC Council. At the same time, however, his opponent being a cousin to Sharon Stone, who is an active Democrat, is repeatedly mentioned as a positive trait, which would imply he's a Democrat. His repeated emphasis on having been Vice President for 8 years suggests that he's a send-up of Al Gore, but the timing of the film's release (i.e. in the middle of George W. Bush's first term) muddles that quite a bit. California, a state with a heavy Democratic lean, is considered competitive for both Lewis and Mays, to the point where it's too close to call until the very last minute. Members of both parties are known to do well in state-level elections, and the race is said to mostly hinge upon whose supporters turn out the most. There's a Running Gag in which a member of Mays' party repeatedly says that he's supporting "big buisness." This is normally associated with Republicans in popular media, but it would really depend more upon what industry he's in. The same is true of Lewis, who is said to have "connections with the energy industry."

No Party Given / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Throughout season one of Heroes, Nathan Petrelli is running for Congress. His party and political views are never discussed. The show also makes a much bigger deal out of a congressional election than is typical of real life. He's like Senator Kelly; his main opinions are to do with Differently Powered Individual. Except, unlike Kelly, he's in a world with The Masquerade in force, so he can't have official policies based on that... Subtle hints indicate that he is a Republican, particularly the fact that his campaign is based on "family values", which at the time was a phrase more vocally used by Republicans. Tracy Strauss, a political consultant and Blonde Maybe Republican Sex Kitten would also fit this trope. She says that her boss, the governor of New York, has trouble with the far right but that does not rule out him being a Republican. The fact that he bothers trying to appeal to the far right at all may indicate that he is a Republican. She is likely of the same party as Nathan Petrelli as she helped him become a Senator.

No Party Given / int_2e621178	comment	The Good Wife makes no secret that the central characters are all Democrats. The show is set in Chicago/ Cook County, Illinois and getting elected there as anything but a Democrat is practically impossible. To quantify how tough it is to win there as a Republican, Democrats control 48/50 seats in the Chicago city council and 15/17 of Cook County comissioners. There are several exceptions among the recurrers, and the series notably avoids Strawman Politicals in either direction, with people of all viewpoints having about even odds to be sympathetic or corrupt. Carries over to its Sequel Series , The Good Fight where Diane is now the main character. The show was completely rewritten after the 2016 election to show how badly sheâ€™s taking it.

There's no mention of his political positions: he's just an uncaring self-absorbed bastard. Though given the film takes place after a nuclear war and he has an English accent... the question may well be academic in this case. The President in the sequel, Escape from L.A., however, is very obviously a Republican Strawman Political, as an extreme example of the Religious Right. For example, he orders that all atheists be sent to Los Angeles, as well as all prostitutes, and any and all criminals; sex outside of marriage is outright illegal; alcohol is also illegal (teetotalism being a common position in certain Protestant denominations).

No Party Given / int_457b671e	comment	In 24, presidential candidate David Palmer is referred to as a Democrat in Season 1. His opponent in the general election (not the party primaries), John Keeler, is presumably a Republican, yet he is never explicitly referred to as such, is endorsed by the very left-leaning AFL-CIO, and had a campaign logo presciently similar to the later real-life Kerry-Edwards 2004 logo. Wayne Palmer, who becomes President in season 6, is presumably a Democrat like his brother, yet has strawman conservatives as his Vice President and Chief of Staff. In Season 7, President Allison Taylor is not explicitly identified by party (at least so far). Since her predecessor is presumably Democrat, she is presumably Republican - and yet her idealism tends to be more of a liberal trait, and her predecessor appears to have mostly GOP traits. It could be resolved if one assumes that Keeler is a Democrat and that his election against Palmer was a primary election. Consider that, from what we know of Palmer, he seems to be a very moderate, JFK-style Democrat, which nowadays could theoretically open him up to a primary challenge from the left wing of the Democratic Party. Early in Season One, as Palmer visits a school on the campaign trail, we very briefly see hints that a teacher—and the teacher's union—are disgruntled with Palmer's stance on education, with the exact dialogue implying that Palmer is for merit pay and other measures opposed by the teacher's union, thus making him at least somewhat conservative on that issue. Also consider that in the debate between Palmer and Keeler, we see Keeler railing against free trade agreements that Palmer has signed, thus putting Keeler to the left of Palmer on that issue. And of course, there's the fact that when it comes to homeland security and defense issues, Palmer is seen taking stances that Jack and many real life conservatives tend to agree with. All in all, it makes it possible that Keeler is a more left-wing Democrat challenging Palmer in the primary. This would make Logan, and possibly Taylor, Democrats as well. There's another theory that Keeler and Logan are Republicans, but that Wayne Palmer is a Republican as well, unlike his Democratic brother. This would explain why his Cabinet is staffed by neoconservatives, and would thus make Taylor a Democrat. As for the plausibility of this, not all members of the same family necessarily are from the same party. And considering that David Palmer was implied to be a very moderate Democrat, his brother Wayne being a moderate Republican is certainly not impossible. Alistair Davies, the UK Prime Minister in Live Another Day is of an unspecified party, as later Lampshaded by Stephen Fry on QI.

In practice, Jeremy couldn't resist his Tony Blair impression, and some female teammates played up to the "Blair Babes" stereotype.

No Party Given / int_59e65a05	comment	In the 2004 film adaptation of The Manchurian Candidate, the political party involved is never mentioned by name, even during a scene that revolves around a strategy session involving the electoral map. However, it can sort of be inferred from the states that they are mentioned as "traditional weak" and "traditional strong" in that Senator Shaw and her son are Democrats. This contrasts with the original novel and 1962 adaptation, which make them a family of Republicans. However, even this has an alternate universe spin on it: the political parties have alternate names in the 2004 version if you pay close enough attention. There's one scene in which Senator Shaw's opponent is referred to as "the Conservative nominee", indicating that in the universe of the 2004 movie, the Republicans are instead referred to as the Conservative Party, and implying that the Democrats — and thus the Shaws — are instead referred to as the Liberal Party. The writer's choice to change the party names is definitely a somewhat unusual example.

While their parties are never named in-comic, and their first appearance had them both sprout the same patriotic platitudes, it was initially difficult to tell who is who. However: Dylan's favorite color is red and Jenny's is blue. The other time you can actually tell their politics apart is when they light directly into each other, when Dylan will call Jenny a pinko commie and she responds by calling him a backwards neanderthal (or something of the sort). Their positions on firefighting services also align with a Dem Jenny and Rep Dylan. Dylan's code name might also be telling. The RPG supplement later confirmed that Jenny is the Democratic candidate and Dylan the Republican one.

In the Very Special Episode revolving around guns and gun control, he tries to pass a gun control bill and clashes with a pro-gun, implicitly Republican councilwoman...who's played by a Pakistani-Canadian actress. That's not impossible, but it's not exactly likely for a show set in Washington state. All this without any explicitly stated parties.note He also manages to pass some non-specific form of gun control ordinance that somehow doesn't impede gun sales, ownership, or use in self-defense.

On the other hand, in the slightly more serious Dumbing of Age, her party isn't named, but the fact that she's campaigning on a "family values" platform, the strongly feminist lesbian Leslie Bean voted against her, and her Ethical Slut sister hates everything she stands for, she's almost certainly Republican. Word of God states that in the former comic, she didn't have a party (or maybe he just meant it was irrelevant), while in the latter she does.

No Party Given / int_6c2c4bf3	comment	Senator Robert Kelly in the X-Men film series. His party is not explicitly stated, and there is evidence on both sides. In the first film, he implies that he is for gun control (a Democratic position) for the same reasons he is pro-mutant registration. ("There is no difference!" he says, "All I see is weapons in our schools!") A deleted scene in the second film implies, by a newspaper clip about a speech that he gives and the Democrats had a response to his speech, that he is a Republican. However, seeing as how he is opposed to issues not present in our real world as his only defining political characteristic, it mostly boils down to rhetoric a party would use to justify the reason for the registration. In the "Making Of" featurette of the first movie, called "Mutant Watch", he is given the suffix R-KS, which means that he is a Republican from Kansas. However, "Mutant Watch" had a, um, surprise ending that was most definitely NOT canon, so it's questionable how much any other detail can be relied on.

In addition, a comment by Mitchell in the tenth seasonnote He makes a crack about a possible "vice presidential hunting accident" when teaming up with the sheriff's department and local hunters to track a monster in the woods outside Colorado Springs. suggests that Kinsey, forced to resign during "Lost City", was replaced by Dick Cheney, a Republican and the real life VP when the episode first aired. However, politicians in Stargate sometimes seem to be on both sides of the political spectrum. This also applies to the nameless president of the first seven seasons.

No Party Given / int_863b7825	comment	Jim Hacker, in Yes, Minister, had Conservative views as well as looking and acting very much like the stereotypical Conservative MP, but was not identified as such. His party HQ was called "Central House", an amalgam of Central Office and Transport House, the locations of the Conservative Party and the Labour Party in real life at that time. In fact, many of the plot points in Yes Minister are based on real incidents, but they occurred under both Conservative and Labour ministries. On one occasion, in fact, Hacker is heard musing on what the Conservative or Labour parties would do in a similar situation, implying he is neither. Hacker is also seen wearing a white rosette as the election results are read out at the start of the pilot episode Open Government, alongside others wearing blue (Conservative) and red (Labour) rosettes. This is actually part of the point of the show—that regardless of party and ideology, the elected leaders are hamstrung by the career bureaucrats (who, for their own part, may honestly believe that they serve the people best by preventing well-intentioned politicians from gumming up the works). In the remake, Hacker's party's coalition partner is likewise unidentified, although it seems to be the SNP or some equivalent, rather than the Lib Dems.

No Party Given / int_8d85e141	comment	The party of Selina Meyer, the titular vice president on Veep, is never stated outright but sheâ€™s heavily implied to be a Democrat based on her various beliefs and opponents in elections. It also comes from Armando Iannucciâ€™s tendency to riff on the party that is currently in charge (in this case, Obama's Democratic administration). Some examples: Sheâ€™s pro-choice (Democratic position) and doesnâ€™t know how to react when the president suddenly changes his mind from being pro-choice to not. She's a former senator from Maryland which hasn't had a Republican senator since the 80s. She fights with the party about including universal childcare in her platform when she runs for president, which is a bit of a hobby horse for Democratic women in government. Her opponent in the election is a senator from Arizona (a state that only had Republican senators between 1988-2018) who runs on a platform advocating a border wall which is what Donald Trump ran on in 2016. Though his vice presidential nominee who ends up becoming president (due to the electoral college being tied) is a senator from a blue state, New Mexico. When Selena runs for president, the states she wins are marked in blue and are actual states that would vote for a Democrat for president. The map is basically the 2012 presidential map (last election with an incumbent Democratic president) tweaked around the edges to be tied◊. Selina's rival to be the heir apparent for the presidential nominee is the Asian American (the second most Democratic ethnic group behind only African Americans) governor of the blue state of Minnesota. His schtick of being a veteran is reminiscent of the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, John Kerry (a three-time purple heart recipient), who was urged to run to show that Democrats aren't anti-military in the wake of the invasion of Iraq.

No Party Given / int_9dfa8216	comment	Pretty much every politician in Law & Order, regardless of which series. While there is the occasional snide comment about certain political groups (usually, but not always, aimed at conservative groups/issues), rarely is a specific political party mentioned. There are, however, plenty of obvious knock-offs of famous politicians and pundits, thus allowing the viewer to draw what conclusions they will. Although it has to be said that during Fred Thompson's run as the DA, he expressed plenty of conservative points that are not unlike his actual party (GOP). For example, he parroted Scalia's view that there is no ingrained constitutional right to privacy, a very GOP/originalist view. (For those who are not American, the actor was actually in his last year as a Republican Senator from Tennessee when he was cast and left the show to run for President.) Jack McCoy is more or less ambiguous and would do anything to win his case (one time he succeeded to nullify all gay marriages to try to break spousal confidentiality of a suspect, mirroring the time when the mayor of a small town upstate was issuing licenses for same sex marriage). On the other hand, Jack McCoy has, at the end of the day, expressed liberal positions on most issues not relating directly to criminal justice (and even some that do).

Pretty much everyone in the West Wing is clearly of one party or the other (or at least could be classed as conservative or liberal). The sole exceptions seem to be people associated with the military or national security: when the West Wing staff are briefly considering replacing John Hoynes with Admiral Fitzwallace, either Ed or Larry asks if Fitzwallace is even a Democrat. Later in the series, Will is shocked to learn that Kate Harper, who had expressed occasional liberal values throughout her run, had voted for Vinick, the Republican candidate. Since both Fitzwallace and Kate got their jobs thanks to their experience in the Navy, their political views on nonmilitary issues are somewhat moot. Nancy McNally is similarly vague in her political persuasion.

We know he's a Gulf War fighter ace, and a brief reference to a failed "crime bill" is made, but otherwise all we know is that he wants to kick some alien ass. The novelization states that he beat a Republican in the election, which makes it likely than not that he's a Democrat. Then again, in the movie itself, Jasmine mentions that she voted for Whitmore's opponent; Jasmine is an African-American woman from Los Angeles, which puts her in various Democratic-leaning demographics, which could indicate Whitmore's being a Republican (either that, or Jasmine being a Republican).

Nicely averted with the third series with the Master, who was an "independent candidate" who attracted a coalition of MPs from all the parties. Didn't matter much in the end, though: he was using mind control to get elected. He was apparently not even an MP, and several private citizens from different areas mention having voted for him; those aren't just unlikely, they're actually impossible without major changes to Britain's government structure. * They might have meant they voted for the candidate representing him in their constituency.

No Party Given / int_edbc9738	comment	Transmetropolitan identifies the political parties of the future USA as merely "Ruling" or "Opposition". There is one slip-up, however, when the Smiler, a California senator, is listed as "D-Cal". Because Callahan is compared to Robert Kennedy at one point, and his opponent is an obvious Richard Nixon expy, the implications are clear that Callahan is a Democrat. While the voting map shows Callahan states as red, the comic was written just a few years before blue become solidified as the color of Democrats.

No Party Given / int_f3ae2950	comment	Senator Armstrong's party isn't stated either, but considering his plans, he'd probably FUCK ALL OF IT once he got into power. Fittingly, his yellow necktie is neither Democratic blue nor Republican red, and his Motive Rant quotes both Martin Luther King Jr. and Ronald Reagan.

No Party Given / int_f655ed11	comment	On an episode of Frasier, Marty and his sons appear in television ads for opposing congressional candidates. Though Frasier and Niles' man is a "bleeding-heart" who supports the NEA and protecting the environment, and Marty's is tough on crime and pro-military and family values, the words "Democrat" and "Republican" (or "liberal" or "conservative") are not mentioned. Of course, one or both could be an independent or third-party candidates. Notably, this contrasts Kelsey Grammer's own political affiliation, and that of his most vocally (straw) political character, Sideshow Bob.

No Party Given / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: The season 1 premiere episode "Midnight on the Firing Line" takes place with an Earth Alliance presidential election in the background. It's briefly mentioned that the incumbent Luis Santiago has some nativist views (which proves to be foreshadowing in the next season) but no parties are named, or any major election issues for that matter: Ivanova makes a comment to Sinclair that she's voting for the challenger because she's got a better chin. No, that's not a joke:

No Party Given / int_f8eaad5b	comment	Citizen Kane has a justified example when Kane runs for Governor. Boss Jim Gettys likely controls both parties in New York (a scene in the script, but cut from the finished film says as much), so Kane is probably running as an independent.

No Party Given / int_ff0bf83f	comment	When Lex Luthor runs for president during the second season of Justice League Unlimited, he is specified as being "within striking distance" of both major parties, thereby not only not associating the villain with the Republicans or Democrats, but shutting out the possibility entirely, defusing any arguments about how Luthor would (obviously, of course) be running for [insert your least favorite of the two here].

No Party Given / int_ff7b68ba	comment	Night Court: In Season 9, when Christine runs for Congress (and is elected in the series finale), they never say exactly which party she's running for. When she is recruited to run, the political operative only identifies himself as being with "the Party". Christine is always depicted a classic "bleeding heart" liberal, and the issue she cares most about is a bill to establish government day care subsidies to help working women, which would seemingly make her a natural choice for the Democratic Party, but the show is careful to never actually say what party she represents..
