Article 40.6.1. iii enshrines the right of citizens to form associations and unions. This is wider than the notion of labour law; it deals with political parties, even though there is no mention of political parties in the Constitution. This is an issue to which we should return. Article 40.6.2o states: "Laws regulating the manner in which the right of forming associations and unions and the right of free assembly may be exercised shall contain no political, religious or class discrimination". It is arguable that excluding certain classes of politician from exercising their right to be elected to a local authority is repugnant to this Article.
