Hi...regarding my addition of the citations showing that Popular Will is regarded as "left-leaning"...I will take this to arbitration if necessary. Chavistas want to represent their opponents as not being of the political left, and many of them are of the political left. The articles I am linking show not only that outsiders (including the Chicago Sun-Times, an obviously reputable source) regard Voluntad Popular as "left-leaning", but that Voluntad Popular has gotten a transgender woman elected to the Congress, which is not only pretty clearly something a left-wing party would do, but which is something which shows the PSUV taking a traditionalist social conservative position (PSUV candidates are notoriously hostile to homosexuals - they have in the past stigmatised their opponents as homosexuals to win votes). I do not accept that this edit is incorrect and I will fight on the matter. It is documented, and attempts to remove this only show the Chavista slant of those editors trying to revert the change.

Calm down dude. I suggest you take a step back and WP:AGF. You are basically accusing me of being a Chavista or working for them - an accusation I find laughable. If you would approach this in a civil manner you would find that I am probably much more on your side than you realize, being as how I contribute to several articles related to corruption in Venezuela. You have once source stating the group is left-leaning. There are sources saying it is right-leaning. The founder, Leo Lopez, expressly intended it to be a centrist party that does not adhere to ideologies, but to justice and the rule of law, which do not currently exist under PSUV. Its not a left-wing party. Its a centrist party. DaltonCastle (talk) 02:28, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 3rd person chipping in. I should add that most outside the party describe it as being rightist. The govt says "fascist". The first person obviously is a member. There should be a section on its leader and other members imprisoned on terrorism and explosives charges and fomenting violence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.106.134.44 (talk) 15:10, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
