I think the parties should be categorized by their ideology in such manner:
It would be a huge improvement of the article -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 06:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- Left, Center, and Right is not a good classification. It is better to classify them according to their Political (authoritarian/democratic), Social (liberal/moderate/conservative), and Economic (liberal/centrist/socialist) orientations. 90.181.66.134 (talk) 23:49, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Is Liberal perhaps a confusing term to use? It seems to have a different meaning in the USA than it does elsewhere. Since Wikipedia tends to be Amerocentric, it can be confusing on which definition to go by. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.6.0.32 (talk) 19:35, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think there is much difference between US and other places in being liberal regarding social issues. In any case this is the term used in the political sciences (see the article on political spectrum) and also by news networks. Liberal is in contrast to conservative. In US Democrats are economically left of Republicans and are socially liberal (aka progressive but I think the term would be more misleading regarding parties in Egypt). Liberal is different from Libertarian. ps: This is the first time I hear that Wikipedia is Amerocentric. It is an international encyclopedia, if some Americans insist on using scientifically incorrect terms it is their problem. 195.113.30.252 (talk) 18:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
