It is very typical for municipalities to have political parties that only operate locally.
The Christelijke Arbeiders Partij was founded in 1956 for the Bunschoten municipal elections. At the time the only people that could be elected were tradespeople, fishermen and farmers. Workers were put in unelectable positions by the elite. The CAP was founded out of dissatisfaction with this.
