The political_party=* key is used to indicate the political party associated with a mapped feature. This is not a standalone tag and should instead be added to a primary feature tag such as office=political_party or office=politician.

Values

Values for this key are likely to be country specific. For example political_party=labour may refer to one of many different political parties across the globe but is likely to only refer to one political party in a specific country.

Values should probably use the official name of a political party, but it is likely may also use the more common name of a party (e.g., political_party=conservative in the United Kingdom would actually refer to the Conservative and Unionist Party). Colloquial names should be avoided.
