Updates to Katter's Australian Party 11 October 2023

Hi All,

I would like to update the 'State politics' section to include the results of the 2020 Queensland state election, and also include more recent data in the 'Donors' section. Please let me know if anyone has concern about these updates.

Thanks Willw1193 (talk) 22:56, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Right-wing, Syncretic, or neither?

It looks like there's been a potential edit war going on over the political position of the party, whether it's classified as "Right-wing" or "Syncretic", so I think it's best to open up a discussion here. What is the consensus among the people here about how best to describe the party's political position? Personally, I think it would be more accurate to either describe it as "Syncretic" or to not describe its political position on a left-right scale at all, as is the case with New Zealand First. But I'm open to discussion on the topic. GlowstoneUnknown (talk) 23:04, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your proposal: first preference syncretic, second preference no description. The sources used to place KAP as left or right too often focus on their stance regarding a single issue rather than covering the party's platform in general. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 04:59, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The party is definitely syncretic in nature, perhaps even more left wing than right wing. Bob and Robbie Katter both claim to be agrarian socialists while also being social conservatives at the same time. DarkoBekrija (talk) 07:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
