A constitutional single party republic, but one where every elected position has multiple candidates selected by the party to choose between.

Re: Exotic Governmental/Legal Systems
Seems as though the "parties" here would be factions within the single party.

With the Very Important Difference that everyone has pledged allegiance to the Self-Evident Truths of the Party and is pretending to be comrades.

A one-party system that actually allows wide membership and internal contests is basically just another grade of citizenship - not much different than limiting the franchise to guild members, property owners, or the properly baptized.

Re: Exotic Governmental/Legal Systems
Wouldn't the state religion effectively have sects that are counterparts to parties? Kind of like Pharisees and Sadducees?
