Notability

What are the notability criteria for such parties? The DSP certainly ran candidates in every election for over a decade. It got the same newspaper notice as any such party gets. During every election campaign there would be several mentions of it in each of the newspapers. What more could one want? Of course those newspaper archives are not easily accessible now, so I can't cite specific articles, but they were there all right. So how are they less notable than any other joke party? -- 64.131.244.143 (talk) 23:33, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Appointing silly people to all the portfolios that matter"

I've noticed a disparity between the article listed as a source here and the text on the site. On one hand, the source states that the party was against this motion, however the article simply states that, in fact, this was one of the party's main interests. Which was it?
