Talk:List of agrarian parties

Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party

The entry claims that the Minnesota DFL Party is an agrarian party and defines "agrarian party" as one in which farmers are THE main constituency. The DFL does not meet the definition for an agrarian party.

The Party is the Minnesota State unit of the national Democratic Party. There is no difference between the Minnesota DFL Party and the Democratic Party of the United States. Historically, in Minnesota, the Democrats merged with the independent Farmer-Labor Party. Nevertheless, there is no contemporary distinction between the MN DFL and the national Democrats. While the Party certainly has the support of some farmers, primarily grain farmers in the northwest quadrant of the State, in no way would it claim that farmers are its main constituency.

The Party is a coalition of urban and suburban liberals, good-government types, unionized factory labor, public employees, grain farmers and family farmers led by lawyers and intellectuals.LAWinans (talk) 23:46, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Nordic Agrarian parties

Thanks to C mon for his *GREAT* work on this article.

One question about the list. Why writing all these times "Nordic Agrarian party"? I think it is not useful. For that there is still Nordic Agrarian parties. It could be an idea to put the link at the bottom of the article and to simply put an asterisk after the name of those parties. What do you think? --Checco (talk) 11:21, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Make a footnote/reference? Combines both ideas. —Nightstallion 12:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Why not? It seems to me a sensible idea. --Checco (talk) 12:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! It's not ideal yet, or complete. Anyway I'd prefer to make the whole list a table, with nice sorting options. We could add make a special collumn for subgroups, such as nordic agrarian parties, but also for instance those agrarian parties which are described as leftwing-populist.

...and those with conservative or christian-democratic leanings. All god ideas, C mon. I also like the idea of making the whole list a table. In the meantime, can we implement Nightstallion's proposal about NAPs? --Checco (talk) 13:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I put the references for NAPs, hoping that all agree with it. --Checco (talk) 22:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Two questions

Two questions:

• Does anyone know about some (active or former) agrarian parties from Africa and Oceania, and more parties from the Americas and Asia?
• Are the Hungarian minority parties in Slovakia and Romania agrarian-based parties?

Defunct Parties

I have noticed quite a few defunct parties within this list. Does anyone one know if that is meant to be, or if they should be removed? Cran32 (talk) 21:25, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Ignore this; I just answered my own question. Cran32 (talk) 21:27, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Agrarian parties of Estonia mentioned in the article

There has been a misleading confusion with parties with similar names in Estonia: in Estonia, one of the agrarian parties was the Agrarian Center Party (In Estonian: Maa-keskerakond), but not the Center Party (In Estonian: Keskerakond). The Center Party (In Estonian: Keskerakond) has never been an agrarian-oriented party in Estonia. However, the Agrarian Center Party (In Estonian: Maa-keskerakond), which was actually an agrarian-oriented party, has ceased its activities already in 1996.

I fixed it.
