NDP’s role in minority governments[edit]
I initially removed this, and it was reverted. I don’t want an edit war so, I will ask, how is this relevant to the liberal party page? I understand that they play a role in the confidence and supply of the liberal government but it seems to me that doesn’t need to be on the Liberal Party page.

- At the very least, could it be reworded in some way? It doesn’t fit in wells . Wikentromere (talk) 02:39, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with you. Previously, I took that aside as a quick, implicit way of explaining the party standings and relative strength — that the Liberals ally with the NDP rather than the Conservatives tells you that the LPC and CPC are the two major parties — but on closer inspection, I suppose that calling the CPC their "rival" already does that. So, if it's not actually providing context, I don't think it's important enough for the lede. That the Liberals sometimes ally with the NDP is true but it's always (until very recently) been an informal partnership; mentioning it so prominently almost makes it sound like they've got some sort of CDU/CSU or Liberal/National agreement going on, which is obviously not the case. I'll go ahead and remove it. — Kawnhr (talk) 18:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
Ideological Position[edit]
I think there should be consideration for placing the Liberal Party of Canada on the Centre-right to Centre-Left spectrum, as evidenced by shared centre-right policies with the Conservatives, from back-to-work legislation, prioritizing tax cuts that benefit 6-figure earners, and rejection of many NDP policies like the wealth tax
I would at least like to hear opinions on this. Perhaps a compromise would be like what we see on the NDP page, which is a centre left party that has a left-wing faction. The Liberals could be seen as a centrist party with both centre left and centre right factions 174.89.12.70 (talk) 05:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
