That's a good question. That's why I prefaced the list as "Some Notable Parties Past and Present". Each individual page (when I or whoever gets around to it) should give a brief history of the Party In Question and note when that party is no longer active.
In assembling the list and comparing to the Other Wiki I noticed that Wikipedia has multiple pages for the Progressive Party, regarding each incarnation of it as a separate entity. Which is probably accurate enough, because it was pretty intermittant in the early 20th Century, but I think if I ever get around to writing our own entry on the subject, I'd probably bundle them all together for convenience sake.
Technically speaking, we could probably do with a seperate entry on the Democratic-Republican Party of the Jeffersonian Era distinct from the Modern Day Democratic Party, but I don't know if we want to get that nit-picky.
Then again, we have the American and British versions of the Whigs, which share the same name and some degree of political philosophy, but really have no connection beyond that. Those would require seperate entries.
Then AGAIN… there's the Socialist Party. Pretty much every nation on earth that has political parties has a Socialist one, and some of them have more than one. Some of them aren't particularly Socialist either. In that case, I think we'd do better to have an entry on Socialism in general and individual entries on notable parties as we feel the Spirit move us to write something.
