I agree with Steve's definition of an interested party. In this context, that would basically apply to people who's jobs directly or indirectly depend on a political party's success. Politicians, fund raisers, a PR company that does most of its business for a party, a business that receives billions in goernment contracts. WIki has a nice article that covers most of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_of_interest

For example, a member of the Democrat Party is an interested part in the Democratic Party article, should they be able to edit it? Same goes for the NGS and Wikipedia.

A vocal opponent is not an interested party. An interested party is a party with, well, an interest in the matter, like a shareholder, employee etc. For Wikipedia purposes, you can pretty much consider interested party to mean the party itself.
