Libertarian Party has garned significant electoral votes in recent decades as well. Thats pretty major. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oi!oi!oi!010101 (talkcontribs) 22:48, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are no refs for this entire page. Thats kind of a problem. --Oi!oi!oi!010101 (talk) 22:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a whole, the article is grossly anglocentric. It seems to assume that the British electoral system is universal. --Soman (talk) 15:24, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the Libertarian Party as the 'other major party' in the U.S. It does not come even remotely close to meeting the Merriam-Webster definition of 'major' presented in the article. In the presidential election just past they had their second best result ever ... and still did not get even 1 percent of the vote (in their best year, they barely made it over 1 percent). Yes, they are the largest of all the U.S. minor parties, but they are far, far from being a major. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the National Front for France on the same grounds: despite good electoral showings, they never came close to winning an election at national level and only did so in a few very minor elections at local level; and they have never been the main opposition party. 81.220.195.94 (talk) 04:01, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PSDB (Brazil)

[edit]

Brazilian Social Democracy Party isn't a right-centre or right-wing party. It means to a left-centre party. Sir Wederson Winchester (talk) 18:42, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Massive unreferenced table

[edit]

Removed, see WP:BURDEN. I was tempted to leave in the UK entries given Ofcom, but decided against it but mentioning the reference here in case anyone wants to use it to explain the UK's position or to start a new table or whatever. FDW777 (talk) 13:49, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
