    member of political party

    [edit]

    Would not include 'Republican' if they support Republican ideas, must be affiliated with the actual party. The party they voted for is also insufficient.Macadamia1472 (talk) 08:56, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Currently?

    [edit]

    The English description says "currently member of". Isn't it like the deleted property "former member of a sport team", deleted because it's not right to talk about the "time" of the property? --Viscontino (talk) 10:42, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Yes. I think the property should be applied to former members.--Stevenliuyi (talk) 11:13, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    A Note on Usage

    [edit]

    Persons who are not a member of any political party should use the "no value" as the value of this property. The period of party membership should be noted with qualifiers start time (P580) and end time (P582). --Wylve (talk) 10:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Depending on the country, for politicians actually running for office, using an item for independent might work better.

    Use as member of parliamentary group

    [edit]

    For your information: In the discussion of the proposed property parliamentary group there is talk about changing member of political party (P102) so it can also include parliamentary groups which are not parties when used as a qualifier to position held (P39). You are invited to comment if you have an opinion about this. Best regards, Dipsacus fullonum (talk) 09:57, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Start time

    [edit]

    How do you determine when someone becomes a member of a political party? That would require access to voter registration records. --RAN (talk) 18:27, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    This seems like a very difficult property to consistently be able to include, and I think it should be removed as a mandatory constraint. Becoming a member of a political party is not typically a formal event with a precise start date. In countries where you select a party when you register to vote, you could say it's the date you registered to vote that you joined that party. However, voter registration information is rarely public, and even if it was, including that date would be misleading, because membership in a political party is typically about what a person believes rather than who they're registered to vote for. Many people have been active in their political party since before they were old enough to vote; some people have temporarily changed their voter registration to strategically vote in another party's primary elections, etc. Sometimes we may have a precise date for when a person's party affiliation began (i.e. if the person publicly announces it), but these are the exceptional cases, not the norm. I don't think it makes any sense for 'start date' to be a mandatory qualifier for this property. –IagoQnsi (talk) 21:56, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I removed it. I added it to "allowed qualifiers" instead.

    Outher bound on membership of parties

    [edit]

    Of various reasons there can outher bounds on memberships of political parties. Due to this I adjusted the constraints to include phone number (P1329) and latest date (P1326). This change is now reverted by User:Geom.[1] (Seems like Geom reverted his revert?)

    The specific case that lead to addition of phone number (P1329) and latest date (P1326) are memberships of Nasjonal Samling (Q167189), which became illegal 22. januar 1942 and dissolved in May 1945. Memberships after 22. januar 1942 has been prosecuted, and for most of the cases the membership has run until the party was dissolved. An example is Birger Meidell (Q4916234). When Wikidata claims indefinite memberships that is simply wrong.

    There are also other qualifiers that makes sense in this case, as it might be known that a person was member of a political party on a specific date. Jeblad (talk) 16:11, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Members registration number

    [edit]

    For [[Q7320] at least the german wikipedia needs the "Mitgliedsnummer". P217 would be close, but an separate marke would be needed. --Bahnmoeller (talk) 11:43, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    rename in English as simply "political party"?

    [edit]

    The English label for this is currently "member of a political party", but in practice the property is used slightly more widely than that, e.g for for candidates in elections (in many countries you don't need to be a registered party member to stand for election as that party). The narrow scope of the label has made some people uneasy about using it like this, however, so sometimes represents (P1268) gets used instead. The label in quite a few other languages is simply the equivalent of "political party", and I propose that this might also be more suitable in English. --Oravrattas (talk) 10:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Allowing serial number (P2598) as qualifier

    [edit]

    Some political parties like Communist Party of the Soviet Union had serial numbers of membership documents. So it'll be good idea to allow serial number (P2598) as qualifier to this property. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:52, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
