[edit] Liberal Party of Australia

Listing the LP as "the only full, associate or observer Liberal Party" is incorrect and unencyclopedic. Nearly all parties in the IDU identify themselves as economically liberal, and many are also socially liberal with respect to other parties in their countries. Pointing out that the LP is the only party in the IDU with Liberal in its name is not neccessary and the way User:Timeshift9 has done it here is quite misleading; it's an observation that can be easily made. Is the National Independence Party of Azerbaijan the only party that supports independence? Are the Nationalist Republican Alliance and Nationalist Party (Malta) the only nationalist parties? Either reword the "Liberal Party" observation, or stop adding it. --NEMT (talk) 12:37, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't have to stop adding it if concerns were raised correctly via this talk page. What is the dispute of the wording? What will suffice? Timeshift (talk) 15:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how to be any clearer - you're adding a false statement. Nearly all the parties in the IDU identify their ideologies as liberal. I suppose if every party listed save the Australian LP underwent a radical shift in policy overnight, that would be sufficient cause for your statement to be included. --NEMT (talk) 18:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm referring to the party name not the ideology. Timeshift (talk) 22:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

While that may be true, it wasn't clear from the context of what you added. Ask yourself if that's actually worth noting in the article. There are many nominally unique parties on the list, there's no reason to make note of it. --NEMT (talk) 00:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

'There are many nominally unique parties on the list' - not like the Liberal Party of Australia. Timeshift (talk) 00:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

Moved from the article. Cenarium (talk) 16:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

The information given that the Progress Party of Norway is an IDU Observer Party is simply incorrect and must be deleted.
