Four major political parties in Australia?
There are thousands of political parties registered with the
Electoral Commissions in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, many
of them have only a handful of members and only stand in local
elections. Below is a list of political parties represented in the
House of Commons;-

Party, Plaid Cymru, SDLP, Democratic Unionist Party, Ulster
Unionist Party, Respect, Kidderminster Health Concern.
As well as the above parties, the UK independence party and the
Green Party sends MEP's to Brussels. Sinn Fein has MP's elected to
Westminster, but as they refuse to swear allegiance to the Queen,
they don't take their seats in the House of Commons, however Sinn
Fein do send some MLA's to the NI Stormont assembly.
