Directly contrary to your repeated claims I have not been sanctioned 
for POV editing. There was no such finding in the arbitration case.
Moreover Irishpunktom eventually agreed that he and I had produced a
balanced article in the end.

What has often happened is that I have turned a mass of POV into
something more closely approximating an encyclopaedia article, and 
found myself roundly criticised for it solely because the other editor
found out my political affiliation and assumed I must be biased - not
because they could impugn the merit of the edits but because "well you
must be". That was always unfair and was one of the reasons I changed 
my user name and broke the link to my article.

I note that you, Guy, have made the same unsupported allegation. I also
note you now admit to being a member of a different party to me. Hmm.
