Talk:Liberal Party (Hong Kong)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whether the liberal party is truly the 'best-fitted' centre-right party or not (compared to the DAB) is a judgement call - isn't it a POV? Also, referring to your article comments, how can the HK Liberal Party be changing the CCP politically? It's simply not feasible, realistic or true. Jsw663 17:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
The CCP is reinventing itself, and has been since Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms. I never said the liberal party was changing the CCP. All I'm saying is that due to the ideological transition the CCP going through, they are much more willing to accept a party like the LP as long as they do not oppose their rule in the mainland. The CCP of the Maoist days would never tolerate a party like the Liberal Party, because they would consider a party like that a "bourgeois" party. No, stating that the LP is 'best fitted' as centre-right is NOT a judgement call. Their policy consistantly reflects that political spectrum. If you think it's a POV, maybe you should also go edit every political party article in wikipedia where the article classifies a party as "centre-right" or "centre-left". I have inserted that text back into the article. --Candid1982 07:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
I am objecting most to the phrase 'best-fitted' here, not 'centre-right' (the latter seems to put me in the minority). The phrase 'best-fitted' is opinion, although the description 'centre-right' may not be. If you disagree on this point - and this is different to the previous disagreement - then perhaps we need an third-party arbitrator. Jsw663 10:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I think removing the phrase 'best fitted' is a good compromise. I do see your point on how that phrase can make it look like a POV statement.--Candid1982 07:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
