In drafting an article on ''Politics'' and a linked article on ''Political Party'', I have been conscious of the danger of stepping on the toes of people better qualified for that purpose. I was encouraged, however, by the belief that what was available appeared to be incomplete or obscure. But in drafting all-inclusive articles of that sort, the difficulty is how to hold the reader’s interest in the main issues without misleading him by over-simplification – and I am far from confident that I have got the balance right. I will readily withdraw if my drafts are beyond redemption in that respect, but my hope is that my fellow CZ writers will help by correcting what is misleading, and expanding the text where necessary, without insisting upon the inclusion of excessive detail that would better be in linked articles. | |||

Core articles initiative
I think that although the articles listed in the box are reasonable, we actually need short essays which will integrate many of these ideas thematically. So, in the absence of [apparently] any other living Politics editors, I suggest a short list below --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 16:22, 27 September 2007 (CDT)
- Political systems
- Electoral systems
- Political parties
- International organizations
- History of political thought
- THe United Nations (UN)
- European Union [stub already there]
| Main ideologies | Important world leaders (2007) | Theorists | Political systems/forms of government |
|---|---|---|---|

G8

The box is unfinished, s
I suggest the following additions to the list:
- under ideologies: utilitarianism
- under theorists: Rousseau, Mill, Pericles (for the Athenian ideal of democracy) Thomas Aquinas, John Rawls.
- under political systems: representative government (the system we now live under!)

Some tentative attempts at drafting
In drafting an article on Politics and a linked article on Political Party, I have been conscious of the danger of stepping on the toes of people better qualified for that purpose.
