In politics, a partisan is a person who supports a cause, party, or goal fervently, usually to the exclusion of all others. In multi-party systems, the term is typically understood to describe a person who supports their party's measures without an eye to fairness or compromise with their opponents. In Commonwealth Realm s, for example, the monarch is seen as being distinctly non-partisan and thus is vested with certain powers to form or dissolve governments when there is a democratic impasse. This is in contrast to professional politicians who are expected to push for their party's interests. |
