Warnings Added edit

I've added warnings for Lack of Citations (as the list contains none at all); Lack of context (as the terms describing the political leanings of Prime Ministers and Parties are undefined) and potential Original Research (which goes hand in hand with the missing citations).

I've removed the OR tag. How any of this could conceivably described as original research is beyond me; lack of citations ≠ original research, they're different things, which is why they're different tags. The list is otherwise not great, so the other tags seem fair. Frickeg (talk) 08:52, 26 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
My fault for not being more precise - the list of political leanings under each party seemed to me to be OR, not least because where various political figures lie on the right-left axis is very much a matter of opinion, to say nothing of the fact that grouping every individual under the overall leaning of their party seems to compound this inaccuracy. The rest of the page I don't have that issue with. But you were probably right to remove the tag. Lokicarbis (talk) 03:00, 28 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
I see, and I agree - I'm not sure they're OR, but they're definitely disputable, so I've removed them. I have to say I find this list kind of pointless (what is contained here that isn't in the main list?). Frickeg (talk) 12:52, 28 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
