Political pluralism · freedom of organisation
Parties and independent candidacies
Parties and independent candidacies, in this context, are forms of political organisation within Candeia; they are not parties registered in real-world countries. The proposal protects both the freedom to create and join political groups and the right to stand without affiliation, preserving competition and equality of opportunity.

In brief
Pluralism is not merely having several political groups: it also means ensuring that an eligible person can contest a political office or function in Candeia without compulsory affiliation and without an artificial economic barrier.
