wrong description

as much as PiS is very much a populist party, it is not in the least right wing. neither is it national or conservative. it is left-of centre EU-enthusiastic populist. please correct. 81.106.228.169 (talk) 13:46, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Should "social conservatism" be included as an ideology (maybe even instead of "national conservatism", or just have both)? Thiscouldbeauser (talk) 02:31, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No as it is redundant and already covered by Christian right. What's currently listed in the infobox is the consequence of discussions from 2021. Vacant0 (talk) 09:16, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Far right

Hi

Lots of sources said the party is a far right party:[1][2][3][4]

So we should edit the infobox Panam2014 (talk) 10:16, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct but a wide consensus on that topic will be needed. Two years ago, a majority of participants were in favour of only keeping right-wing. Vacant0 (talk) 18:11, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike crypto-neofascist LDPJ, PiS is never described as an "ultranationalist". Therefore, I think it is good to keep PiS's political position "right-wing", not "far-right" referring to the LDPJ article. Mureungdowon (talk) 20:55, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
