This is a template to be added to the pages of Northern Ireland parties which aren't big enough to have the one for British political parties. I'm sure at least one of these parties is too small or defunct. WóCoill 10:26, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Basis for inclusion[edit]

There needs to be a clear definition of why some parties are excluded and why others are included, along the lines of

Parties with MP
Assembly parties
Parties with councillors
Parties which fielded candidates since 20XX
All Political parties in Northern Ireland (according to the electoral commision there are, ~80) [1]

I have tagged this as OR, as someone has choosen a novel way of defining "Political party in Northern Ireland" Fasach Nua 20:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
