Not-notable political party. Two candidates with derisory vote totals between them and no proof of notability before or after elections. Wikipedia is not a Gazetteer of Political Parties and this article is a threadbare commentary on two failed elections with no evidence of importance, lasting notability, or impact. doktorb _words^deeds 01:31, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I think this party passes GNG. Aside from this:[1] article from the BBC already in the article which provides significant coverage, there is this article:[2]. There are also a couple of sentences devoted to it in this book:[3], but that is not significant coverage. Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:45, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A minor political party that existed for a single election. They fielded two candidates. There are 650 constituencies. The citations only being from BBC election coverage, listicles, and two sentences in a 300 page book is an indication that GNG has not been established.--Mpen320 (talk) 07:01, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable. WP:ORGDEPTH explicitly tells us that a list entry isn't significant coverage and doesn't contribute towards notability. I think it's a stretch to call the passage in the BBC article substantial coverage, too. Fails the WP:GNG and has no lasting impact. Ralbegen (talk) 10:58, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable party. Unlike the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, which has made a mark on British politics, this party appeared before the election and vanished after it. LefcentrerightDiscuss 13:08, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The party did not hang around to establish notability, and anyhow fails GNG despite the limited and brief coverage.JohnmgKing (talk) 20:08, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A party which ran two candidates at one elections is not notable. As an aside was the "party" not a promotional stunt for tourist attractions (ie the Edinburgh and York Dungeons)? Dunarc (talk) 22:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
