Talk:Centre-right
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page contradicts the New Democrats page because the centre-right article claims that Republicans in America best align with this idea, while the New Democrats page claims that modern day American Democrats align with it. Ashwinr 08:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
This page seems to be part of a set of pages created by a Briton. It probably should be incorporated into a page that is more representative of the worldwide center-right (or centre-right, in Commonwealth English). I don't even know where to start. Great fodder for you political types out there. Research away. Fuzzform 06:04, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
I will continue to add to the list of parties later. Anyone else is of course welcome to beat me to it. Just one note: I was intending the list to be in alphabetical order by country. Tamino 18:40, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I just expanded the list to include a whole load of centre-right parties. Hope it proves useful. --CTerry 15:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kadima
I've noticed the addition, removal and re-addition of Kadima to the list. Although I don't think that it is vandalism (though the person who removed it thought so), could someone explain whether it is centre-right or not? I've always heard it refered to as "centrist".

Kadima is centrist. I know that because I'm a part of the party and many people like Peres, Itzik, Hermesh and Ramon came from the labour party (cetre-left).
Kadima sees itself as centrist and you can check it on Kadima's website. thanks.
likud is centre-right. you can check on the israeli wikipedia also (tal)
Isnt Eastern and centol europe dominated by centre right forces?
[edit] Republican party is not a centre-right
The Republican Party of the United States is not and will never be a centre-right party. Centre-rights believe in government involvement in the economy and thats something the Republican party is totally against The Democrat party of the United States should be listed here instead.
I would agree their support for "a welfare state of some form" is pretty lagging, admittedly there are certain members whose views could be described as centre-right (ie. Arnold Schwarzenneger) but the Bush administration itself has followed a pretty rightwing agenda since 2000 I think. I said this before on the discussion page for centre-left I am not crazy about the idea of having articles to describe differant political positions of parties in the Centre, especially not if they are going to be listed because these definitions are usually superificial and subject to constant change depending on the party's leadership. My suggestion would be to at least remove the lists of political parties from both the centre-right and centre-left articles, use examples of various governments and political parties under certain leaders, but do not list political parties as being ideologically centre-right or centre-left because it is pretty misleading! I won't do it myself instead I will leave it to other editors but I would highly suggest it. (Canadianpunk77 19:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC))
[edit] More arguments in favour of change
The articles for right-wing politics and left-wing politics do not contain a reference list of political parties either as such lists can never be fully accurate, so again why should the centre-right and centre-left articles? And why is the BNP listed as a centre-right party in Spain??? You definately could not be reffering to the BNP in Britain! If there is another BNP in Spain it is not listed in wikipedia, maybe somebody should create an article for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadianpunk77 (talk • contribs) 19:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] UMP
I removed the french Union for a Popular Movement. It is not a centre-right party.
What is it then? It is generally agreed as being a centre-right party, indeed wikipedia's own article on the UMP starts with "The UMP is the main centre-right party in France."--CTerry 20:44, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] definition
I'm sure this definition is inaccurate. The term centre-right is frequently used to describe individuals.Nwe 11:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comments next to party names
Right-wing does not mean far right it includes center-right as well. These additional comments next to the parties that say things like "mixture of center-right and right-wing" must go especially since they are highly debateable and not cited. Center-right is called center-right because of the party's position on the political spectrum; it can't be both center-right and far right or "a mixture" of center-right and far right. It can only be one, center-right or far right and many of these political parties are simply not far right.--Lucky Mitch (talk) 15:49, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
