Extra-parliamentary[edit]

Hiya. What, in your view, does "extra-parliamentary" mean? I am aware of a couple of definitions. The most common definition however (as for example described in our own "extra-parliamentary" article) is typically applied to political groups or individuals who "choose not to engage in elections" or "do not seek government positions". Applying that definition to two groups (the NP and IFP) who are both registered to contest elections, and both have very recently put forward candidates for parliamentary seats, doesn't seem to stack up. What therefore does it mean to you? And why apply it to those groups/parties? In relation to this change for example, in what sense is the National Party's participation in the 2020 election "extra-parliamentary"? Guliolopez (talk) 23:22, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that it just means 'outside of parliament' i.e it has no seats. Anyway, if it's going to cause confusion it can just be replaced with 'No seats'. CaneFluteMan (talk) 23:27, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya. Thanks. "Extra-parliamentary" does (literally) mean "outside of parliament". But it is (typically) used in a deliberate sense. As in "outside of parliament on purpose". Rather than "outside of parliament because tried/failed". The term "no seats" is probably best for now. As both uses of that term (literal and typical) are unambiguous.
