- Forward to Mars Party (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Contested PROD (twice removed by anon editor). The party has stood once in British elections. It achieved less than 0.5% of the vote. It has not been heard before or since. Whilst minor parties may be credible and notable, this party's tiny vote share and lack of credible, or notable, campaign work prior or since suggests they are a non-notable party. This is contary to WP:N and associated policies on organisations. See Money Reform Party for another recently removed example of non-notable one-failed candidate parties doktorb wordsdeeds 05:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge & Redirect At the time it stood there was no formal registration of parties and any candidate could use whatever label they liked so this "party" may never have been anything more than a description for one candidate standing against a high profile politician.
