Talk:Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union

Centre-left?

How can be centre-left a party which is member of UEN and AEN? --Checco (talk) 11:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

not a left-wing party

The party describes oneself as defending "traditional values" and protecting farmers interests. It's political rhetoric is most comparable to PiS of Poland. Just like PiS it advocates for welfare state, but welfare doesn't automatically align the party with the left. Best description is "Right-wing populism". 78.58.3.21 (talk) 21:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Keep in mind that we do not classify parties on the basis of their rhetoric being comparable to X, that would be WP:OR.

If you have sources for the party being right-wing populists, you can present them. But keep in mind we do have sources for the party's left-wing populist alignment. Brat Forelli🦊 17:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

During TV EU parliament debate the leader of the party list expressed clear intention if elected to join European Conservatives and Reformists parliamentary group. That group is for right-wing parties such as Polish PiS that Lithuanian farmers-greens emulate. 78.58.3.21 (talk) 20:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, there were other left-wing agrarian parties that joined them. Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland comes to mind.

Trying to group political parties based on their pan-European allegiance would be an educated guess at most - which we do not need since we have sources instead. Brat Forelli🦊 22:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
