Failure to maintain
The portal currently fails to meet the required standards of the Featured portal criteria, in particular 1(d) (well-maintained). "Featured portals that require maintenance and are not updated for three or more months are summarily demoted." I see the following problems:
- The "selected picture" for September is a redlink, as it was in August, July and June
- The "selected article" has been Initiative since October 2008
- The "selected biography" has been Geert Wilders since November 2009
- The "selected quote" has been one of Wilders' utterances (remarkable variety in the portal, don't you think?) since December 2009
I will leave messages at the portal's associated WikiProjects and see whether there are any improvements quickly, otherwise a visit to Featured Portal Review looms... It would probably be a good idea to have a look at some of the recent Featured Portals to see how to use a system of random subpages so that manual or monthly updates are no longer necessary.

Lack of Consistency with Democracy
The Democracy page notes several forms of Democracy, yet almost non of those are noted sub lists of Democracy on the list of Governments bar on the side (linking to the politics portal). To me, it seems that this lack of congruence could be problematic. Sovereignlance (talk) 05:57, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

List of political parties by region - far too specific
Hello, I have noticed that the list of political parties has been divided into continents and even more arbitrary regions of continents. The problem is that ll the sata can fit on one page which would also allow comparing political systems, unlike it is now. Can someone delete this pages and collate them, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.220.183 (talk) 17:17, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Related Portals - questionable content
What defines the related portals? How is Portal:Presidency of the Philippines anymore related than any other country specific portal? Situphobos (talk) 12:21, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
I changed that section, giving it a wider scope. Lbertolotti (talk) 16:54, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Requested move 5 September 2019
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: No consensus. (non-admin closure) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
- Weak oppose. The current portal name is more WP:CONCISE. Politics is the study of power and distribution of resources, and I can imagine that there would obviously be some articles under "Government" that don't fall under "Politics." At the moment, the portal name matches WikiProject Politics which is currently my preference as a member. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 13:13, 5 September 2019 (UTC)]
- Strong oppose. It is critical that portals match the name of some head article; otherwise we end up with grab-bag portals that no one feels affinity sufficient to attract them as a maintainer. Of course WP:CONCISE applies too, and an additional benefit of the current name is that it matches Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics, a very active WikiProject.
