Party X has been labeled by numerous researchers and specialized journalists as an "anti-party".[3][4][5][6][7] Its own members have publicly stated that it is an experimental project aimed at seeking innovative solutions, validating hypotheses and opening the electoral space to new forms of political participation.[8][9]
In the 2014 European elections, Party X obtained 100,115 votes[10] despite having obtained hardly any media coverage during the election campaign.[11][12] In response to this experience, the party published a report where it evaluated its participation to the elections.[8] Party X ceased to be active in the electoral arena in 2015 announcing itself as dormant, with no plans to run for election again for an indefinite period.[13][14]
