Notability etc

Preselection is a fundamental process in democratic political systems, though it receives far less scrutiny or research than elections and parliamentary activity. I do not think there can be any question of notability, but the creation of the article was intended only as a stub and will need some expanding. I will leave the tag until i have added some more material. hamiltonstone (talk) 01:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
