As far as I can see the New Zealand Democratic Party takes a position in the New Zealand political spectrum similar to progressive liberal parties elsewhere. Therefore I included it in the category Liberal parties. I added a simple explanation in the introduction. Gangulf 10:13, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Sincerely,Jenny Lockett,Te Puke,BOP.

Jenny, this is not a website for the NZ Democratic Party. This is an encyclopedia article about that party. You should address your comemtns to the party itself. There is a link to the party's website at the end of the article. Ground Zero | t 22:56, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Do the Democrats and Social Credit really need seperate pages? They are after all the same party just with a name change? This is especially true now that the Democrats have gone back to promoting themselves with the slogan "Democrats for Social Credit". Things like a list of MP's and Leaders equally apply to both parties. Mattlore 01:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
