Dont you think "Boring" is NPOV??? -- Earl Andrew - talk 05:43, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sort of. But the point of that section is to say "look, there are many boring details to cover, try to cover them the way these do." If you think you can say it better, by all means go ahead. Look around for what each election page is really good at, that is, what is the hardest thing about that election to cover. For instance for the BC general election, 2005, as usual in wacko BC, it is the 45 parties most of which consists of one guy off his meds.

Neutrality is not always "boring" - sometimes colourful contrast makes for the most accurate picture. Since BC politics is actually not boring it is deceptive to cover it as if it is. Perhaps the best thing to do is to put one strange campaign promise from each of those minor parties into the article.  ;-)

[edit] Why why why...

Are all Legislative elections called "Parliamentary", even when they use a Presidential System, or explicitly call themselves "Congress" or something like that? 68.39.174.238 14:36, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
