Non-inscrits (abbreviated NI, French: "unattached") is a term in Gylian politics for parties that have not formed an electoral bloc. The term also encompasses independent politicians and parliamentarians.

There is a wide variety of political ideologies represented among non-inscrits. Several non-inscrit parties have represented notably colourful presences in Gylian politics, including the satirical LSD Party, the image-based National Reconstruction Alliance, the anarcho-naturist Love, Nature, Democracy, and the pro-nightlife People's Party for a Flourishing Nightlife.

Many non-inscrit parties participate in the Minor Party Alliance.

Political alignments

While not grouped into electoral blocs, non-inscrit parties can align with blocs based on shared ideologies.

The APP, FLP, GP, LSDP, Pirates, and PP-CM and RJU are on the left-wing. The APP, FLP, and RJU have been reliable PA allies. The GP, LSDP, Pirates and PP-CM follow a more independent leftist course, but still cooperate with the PA.

The LND and NPP are considered centre-left parties. The NPP's economic ideology places it somewhat closer to the LU, but it has aligned with leftist parties on certain policy issues. The LND has historically preferred to cooperate with the PA, but has also joined a coalition with the LU and NAF.

The IRAM, HP, and NAF are centrist parties, which may align with the centre-left or centre-right. The IRAM has been part of every Gylian federal government.

The UM and PPFN represent urban and demopolitan issues, and are open to allying with the centre-left and centre-right.

The UNR is a centre-right party, which has aligned with the CG and NB.

The FVU, UI, and RFS represent the centre-right branch of Gylian anarchism. Depending on the issue, they may either align with the centre-right NB, or form a pan-anarchist alliance with the PP-CM.

Historical "molehill parties" such as the AFP, CRFP, PCF, PFF, and PFT were right-wing parties. They rejected alliances with the NB, and instead aligned with the parties that would form the UFP.

The ARENA is nominally far-right in presentation, but in practice functions as a big tent joke party.
