my interest was more in the conditions for starting a political party, 
so... points 6-8, rather than 1-5. I've seen attempts at gathering info 
on 1-5 cause some conflicts in the past and would rather stay away from 
any new such initiatives.

the interest would be in discovering how easy it is to create political 
alternatives in different countries, regardless of their ideology.

for instance: serbian parties need 30000 signatures, the authenticity of 
each for which the leader of the initiative is personally and 
criminally(!) liable. in the netherlands is needed 30 signatures per 
constituency to be allowed to run for elections. in sweden 2000 
signatures in total nationwide (well, this was you get listed with the 
electorial department of state)
