Thanks for your comment. Two issues: the notability one is easier. Has the party had substantial and independent press coverage, for instance? (Their own manifesto doesn't count!) There are guidelines for establishing notability at WP:NOTE. Second: NPOV (Neutral Point of View). Whether we agree with what we are putting forward is neither here nor there; the relevant issue is the unbalancing of the article by presenting only one point of view. If you are going to present political parties' attitudes to the development of Leigh, and have established that these are notable and appropriate to an encyclopedia, rather than merely ephemeral, then you need to present them all - properly referenced - or none. That's why you won't actually see this sort of thing in an article. Have a look at some town and city articles that have achieved GA (Good Article) status for an indication of content that a well-written article will have in it. Hope this helps. Sorry for the rush in the reply, and for seeming abrupt in the first place. Any questions, do leave a message on my Talk page, or ask another experienced editor. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia!
