It does raise an interesting question about systems that are structurally non-partisan, but in practice are implemented in partisan ways. The US Presidency is (or was) structurally non-partisan. However, over time, it has evolved (devolved?) into a highly partisan office. We should try to find a

While this is true, it needs to be balanced, I'd rather move things into the text, so that the advantages and disadvantages are made clear in prose. This is more in line with Jimmy Wales' preferences for article formation anyway. No advantage or disadvantage should be highlighted or hidden by this

This article needs a copy-editor for cleanup. Several places say "nonpartisan" (without a dash) and other places say "non-partisan" (with a dash). Let's make that consistently say "nonpartisan" since "nonpartisan" is an entire legal word unto itself and is not a double-word which needs a dash to

This article fails to provide a single source for the general usage of this term. The few sources provided has nothing to do with the term "non-partisan democracy". Even the wording of the description of the term in the introduction is nonsensical, and the article goes on to set up a number of

wouldn't they techincally be non partision in nature? as they have banned all political parties, and their only party essenturally becomes the goverment? Such examples would be the USSR, other communist states, maybe even Lybia, and

What does "official recognition of parties" mean? Public funding of parties or lack of legally enforcible party discipline are very common in democratic representation systems, either partisan or non-partisan.

The sentence "De jure nonpartisan systems exist in several Persian Gulf states, including Oman and Kuwait; the legislatures in these governments typically have advisory capacity only,..." is a paradox.

I don't think the NGO part under Examples really fits in. It's not an NGO, it's the leadership of a sect - there is not parties or politics in that. It's a bad example and therefore should be removed.
