== Some tentative attempts at drafting==
In drafting an article on ''Politics'' and a linked article on ''Political Party'', I have been conscious of the danger of stepping on the toes of people better qualified for that purpose. I was encouraged, however, by the belief that what was available appeared to be incomplete or obscure. But in drafting all-inclusive articles of that  sort, the difficulty is how to hold the reader’s interest in the main issues without misleading him by over-simplification – and I am far from confident that I have got the balance right. I will readily withdraw if my drafts  are beyond redemption in  that respect, but my hope is that my fellow CZ writers will help by correcting what is misleading, and expanding the text where necessary, without insisting upon the inclusion of  excessive detail that would better be in linked articles.

Electoral College

I'd like to get Electoral College started towards approval. I'm certain that some expert eyes will find plenty of things which should be improved. So, please have at! In particular:

  1. Is there anything important which should be in this article but isn't yet?
  2. Is any of the exposition unclear or confusing?
  3. Are there any factual errors?
  4. Is the overall structure of the article sound?
