The article is currently POV, not that that's my reason to delete. I find it hard to imagine how it could even refrain from being a POV article with a non-encyclopedic style, however. I can't really see this article becoming much more than an opinion center for what users think are the main issues between the parties. Being that it's so subject to POV, I think it should be deleted. JamieS93 17:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment: One of the main points for my nom reason that I meant to mention was WP:OR, which others have subsequently brought up. I was actually in a hurry when I wrote the nom above - apologies if my logic for deletion wasn't very clear. --JamieS93 03:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Comment Also, POV is not typically a valid reason to delete an article since non-neutrality can eaisly be fixed. An article consisting of solely original research, however (which I think is the bigger issue with this article), cannot. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 18:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect as above. I'm not too sure why this article was created in the first place when this article already exists. Dusticomplain/compliment 17:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete How not to write a Wikipedia article. Ecoleetage (talk) 19:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, no encyclopedic content (just WP:OR) and no value as a redirect. It's trivially verifiable that almost every single voter has an issue with which they vary from the platform of the party with which they identify. (At least this isn't the insulting chain mail that goes around on the order of "If you are an X, you believe that ... ") --Dhartung | Talk 20:34, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. A half-started table with no real content. No potential. KleenupKrew (talk) 01:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete seems to be a pointless piece of garbage. Yahel Guhan 04:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per KleenupKrew. Stifle (talk) 20:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
