The General Union for the Good of Macau (simplified Chinese: 爱澳联盟; traditional Chinese: 愛澳聯盟, Portuguese: União Geral para O Bem-querer de Macau) is a political party in the Chinese Special Administrative Region of Macau, a former Portuguese possession. Macau is a state in which political parties, as such, don't play a role. Instead, some civic groups put forward lists at the elections and might be considered parties. At the last elections in Macau, 25 September 2005, the group won 6.8% of the popular vote and 1 out of 12 popular elected seats.
