As from the several sections above there has been some debate and discussion over whether the Green party along with others should be added to the table of polling results as a 'main party' (i.e. not listed under the 'others' section). Both sides feel as though Wikipedia policies and guidelines support their side and I feel as though we need some input from an outside, impartial source in order to come to a valid conclusion as neither side wishes to budge and there seems to be no in-between option for us to come to a compromise we are both happy with.

Honestly this seems very much to be a political dispute. From what I have displayed before me it seems listing the Green Party as other is standard not only on wikipedia but in the polls. I have to question if this is an attempt to further legitimize the Green Party. I feel they can do this without help from wikipedia. I can not recommend changing the status quo at the moment.

In democracy all parties should have similar amounts of publicity, otherwise it is a self-fullfilling profecy and enforced barrier to election. With exception of those parties getting 100 votes in constituency for example, lets regard every national party which has candidates in most constituencies, an MP or highish vote share. I do not think just potential to win or form a large part of the house is the only criteria, the potential for them to be voted for (reasonable amount of constituents) should be.
