1. Nonpartisan

   In political science, nonpartisan denotes an election, event, organization or person in which there is no formally declared association with a political party affiliation. The Merrian-Webster dictionary's definition of "nonpartisan" is: Some organizations claiming to be nonpartisan are truly such; others, particularly in the USA, are nominally nonpartisan but in fact closely follow the policies of a political party. While the dictionary definition of "partisan" includes adherents of a party, cause, person, etc., in many cases nonpartisan refers specifically to political party connections rather than being the strict antonym of "partisan", and an organisation described as nonpartisan can have many decidedly controversial policies.
