This article is not to be a directory of current board members or officers, an overview of the qualities of the different parties written by the parties themselves, or a list of trivia. Normal rules apply: independent, reliable sources; neutrality; not a directory. Drmies (talk) 04:32, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I was just looking over the article,, five and a half years after your comment. It's filled with unsourced original research. Could use a clippers. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:45, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Tory Party - Founding
Removed the sentence on the Tory Parties Founding: "founded by a loser of a party of the right chairman election," as it violates neutral point of view. The events surrounding the formation of the Tory Party are contentious and multiple non-sourced partisan narratives exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbadiey (talk • contribs) 23:31, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
