[edit] Other Christian Democratic Parties
Couldn't both of Ireland's main political parties, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, be considered Christian Democratic?
Couldn't the Republican Party (United States) also be considered Christian Democratic.
Fianna Fail and the Republican Party favor policies that are essentially Christian Democratic policies.

- Regarding whether the U.S. Republican Party could be considered Christian Democratic -- Absolutely not. The Republican Party totally rejects the idea (at least in principle) of a social market economy (i.e. the basic Christian Democractic principle of seeing a role for the state in alleviating basic social insecurity; e.g. universal health insurance) in favor of laissez-faire economic policies. This is why there is a nascent Christian Democratic Party in the U.S. GUÐSÞEGN – UTEX – 07:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- Additionally, some US Republican party politicians may have opinions which can be viewed as favorable to Christianity, but the party does not endorse any religious denomination or belief in its platform. 66.82.9.54 14:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Split article
This article ought to be split, remaining inly parties with the explicit name "Christian Democratic Party" and another which would be List of Christian Democratic parties. --Soman 10:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- If there needs to be a change (which I'm not totally convinced), then this page should be a disambiguation page, and have a second page (with this page's current contents) called "List of political parties advocating Christian Democracy". The name "Christian Democratic" does not have to be in the name for it to be a Christian Democratic party. GUÐSÞEGN – UTEX – 05:08, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] That link has no information
As of April 1st, 2006, that link at the bottom of the page referring to the USA Christian Democratic Party has no useful information whatsoever. It merely says "Under Construction" and a lot of dead links. I propose that it be removed.--Offkilter 23:42, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
