[edit] Comment

Is there any reason this page says "apart from the US Dem. party" and then goes on to include the US party in the list? The page Republican Party doesn't do that. Marnanel 01:57, Apr 24, 2004 (UTC)

This article does not include the Democratic Party of The Peoples Rupublic of North Korea ? Yogiudo 02:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

"Terrorist Party," eh? I'd vote for 'em! 138.69.160.1 17:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

==Protected Page status==word-association with the Democratic Party of the United Stkjojjhey hoes [1][2]</ref></ref>ates, I've recommended semi-protection. The vandalism-reverting dance is getting ridiculous. Flying Spaghetti Monster-willing, it won't be necessary to ask for full-protection status. --Micahbrwn 21:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I see the vandalism continues. Any luck getting this page on semi-protected status, to at least weed out the idiotic unregistered jerks? --Micahbrwn 16:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I like pie. pie is good. do you like pie? you should because pie is good. If you don't like pie I will shoot you in the head like sullavan was shot in the head in the Departed. pie is good. I like pie.

[edit] Definition

This page should include a definition on what "democratic party" implies. E.g., under Norway, Venstre is listed, but why not "Demokratene" ("the democrats")?

This list is useless unless one can read a clear and precise definition on why the parties are listed here.

I have removed all parties without the word "democrat" or "democratic" in the name, and clarified this in the lede. This page is useful if you're looking for a party called "Democratic Party" or some simple variation thereof. There's no way it can be allowed to express an opinion on whether a given party is democratic, with a small d -- just for a simple example, the omission of the US Republican Party would then be a POV statement. --Trovatore 22:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flags

I propose adding flags to this list since there is room for them -- Cat chi? 17:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Liberty & Democracy Party

Formally the Liberal Democratic Party. I've changed their link in the Lib/Dem disamb/list-page, but I'm not sure whether parties with Democra-something in their names are intended for this page. Well, that's one prob, the other is that I'm not entirely sure of the coding for table entries. So... any help -- PaulxSA 13:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, they are listed (under old name. I'd change it but the server's doing... something servery) in Liberal Party disamb page. So I assume partial-name parties are okay here. I'll drop the name in here next to the Australian Democrats, can someone who knows what they're doing give them their own line (both here and on Liberal Party page) with the note "Libertarian" which is how they self-identify. -- PaulxSA 13:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why a table rather than standard looking disamb page?

This isn't "List of worldwide Democratic Parties". It's a disambiguation page. Can't it simply look like one? The table format just takes up space. Is there any real advantage to it? Hult041956 (talk) 23:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Why, is there a limit on space? A disambig page lists articles that incorporate the ambiguous word. Whether it's in table format or not shouldn't matter. fishhead64 (talk) 14:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
