Article title

213, please try to keep our naming consistent. There's no reason to redirect to here from the ÖVP page, the ÖVP name is commonly used even in English articles about the party. People's Party is just a loose translation. --Eloquence

As I understand it, Wikipedi article titles should be in English whenever possible, with a redirect from the name in the original language. "Austrian People's Party" is a literal and faithful translation of Österreichische Volkspartei, and is the logical English name for this party. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions.

Well, since you've redirected FPÖ as well, and the English titles seem to be commonly used as per a Google check, I can live with that.--Eloquence

Not withstanding the naming fun, this is an impeccably useful article. Thank you to the editors. -Penta 05:19, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Uh... given that this article is basically mine at this point, that I'm a pretty new kid around here, and that I'm planning Massive Extensions of several other articles: do you really think the article is "impeccable", or is there anything I should have done differently? Anyway, you're perfectly welcome. -Ratatosk 05:47, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Contradiction

"The People's Party's position within the traditional political spectrum is hard to mark down. On the one hand, its views on economic policy are slightly right-of-center if seen in the context of Europe's political landscape, and its views on social policy are right-of-center in the context of the political landscape of almost any Western democracy.

On the other hand, its views on economic policy are still arguably closer to those of classical social democracy than to those of classical laissez-faire capitalism, and it advocates decidedly more economic interventionism than most ostensibly left-wing parties in Europe. "--194.65.151.249 11:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is there to say? I don't think that it's a huge contradiction, but that's my opinion. It is already explicitly stated in the article that "The People's Party's position within the traditional political spectrum is hard to mark down." I think that that is sufficient a statement, and don't believe that there is something to change, if you were inferring that. --Thallium81 (talk) 21:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Political position

How is this, a vanguard of austrofascism, merely centre-right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.163.253 (talk) 23:43, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
