The Unique Party (Unika partiet) is a minor Swedish political party founded by model and Big Brother participant Linda Rosing.
The party was announced late July and officially founded following a press conference in Stockholm on August 3, 2006, a little more than a month before the upcoming election. Following Rosings initiative and joining as board members were Christian Björklund och Pierre Almquist, former members of the pirate party, which also was started the same year. Cecila Beckroth, co-founder of the pirate party, also served briefly on the board before leaving.
The party is widely regarded as populist due to Rosing's background, but has nonetheless gained support from some established politicians.
The party received only 222 votes in the general election at September 17th, which is less than 0,01 % of the votes.
