Political club

The political club is a membership based organization.

Parliamentarians therefore had to publicly say whether they are acting as a member of a political club or as a member of a political party.

[2] The political club is a feature of Urban politics in the United States usually representing a particular party in a neighbourhood.

They were most prominent in the later 19th and early 20th centuries, most famously in Tammany Hall of New York City, which adopted them during the golden age of fraternalism in reaction to a strong challenge from the United Labor Party in 1886.

They formerly often had a prominent local meeting house, but have declined since politics became less neighborhood-based.
