Morphology
uniparty + political + landscape
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'uniparty' can be interpreted as uni- (one/single) + party (political group), and 'political landscape' is a common metaphor for the political environment. Although 'uniparty' is somewhat specialized jargon, its meaning as a single-party-dominated environment is directly derivable from the constituents, so a learner who knows the parts will understand it.
Etymology
Uniparty political landscape paints a picture of a wide field where only uniparty covers the whole landscape. That image explains the meaning: it is a political scene where 'one party' controls things and voters have 'little real choice'.
