NPOV is a principle that applies across all projects.  The way that it 
applies varies with the circumstances.  If the idea behind these voters' 
guides is to present the views of the parties and their candidates then 
each individual guide should fairly and sympathetically represent the 
view of the particular candidate without the need to engage in long 
debates in defence of that position.  NPOV is represented by making sure 
that all candidates and their supporters have an equal opportunity to 
present their views in their respective guides.
