If I had thought I was drafting an article on the subject of "political party" rather than "political parties" it would not have been this one. What I have written has been about how parties interact, how they differ, how they compete etc. No doubt an interesting article could be written about the internal organisation of a "political party", but this is not it. | If I had thought I was drafting an article on the subject of "political party" rather than "political parties" it would not have been this one.

Is this how readers will see it, or am I wasting everybody's time with semantics? [[User:Nick Gardner|Nick Gardner]] 16:23, 18 January 2008 (CST) | Is this how readers will see it, or am I wasting everybody's time with semantics? [[User:Nick Gardner|Nick Gardner]] 16:23, 18 January 2008 (CST) | ||
:An article about political parties, whether titled [[political parties]] or [[political party]], should discuss both the internal structure of political parties, and the competition between parties for political power. Parties' internal structures affect how they compete with other parties, and vice-versa, but your distinction would be a good place to start sectioning.

Cf. Party Systems... --Larry Sanger 11:07, 28 November 2007 (CST)
- definition. Political parties are different from pressure groups. The article needs to follow political science standard terminology. See [1] for a major summary. Richard Jensen 12:35, 28 November 2007 (CST)
Please be patient, it's too soon to start an exchange of semantics. Nick Gardner 15:25, 28 November 2007 (CST)
German party policies
Thank you for your comment Christian Kleineidam, I have inserted the words "many of" to meet your point. However, I think that you may have intended your comment to appear on this page rather than as an amendment to the article (where it doesn't seem to fit in its present form). I should be most interested to hear more from you about German party policies. Could you please let me have some more notes that I could adapt for insertion? Nick Gardner 10:35, 1 December 2007 (CST)

- An article about political parties, whether titled political parties or political party, should discuss both the internal structure of political parties, and the competition between parties for political power. Parties' internal structures affect how they compete with other parties, and vice-versa, but your distinction would be a good place to start sectioning. Anthony Argyriou 17:20, 18 January 2008 (CST)
