Alright, there's clearly an edit war going on here. SimonP, 149, why don't you take it here to Talk: instead of just reverting over and over again? Bryan ummmmmmm what is the political symbol for the canadian alliance??how about you guys answer that
In response to the assertion the Reform votes did not come from the NDP, there is actually a fair bit of evidence that this did occur and that many of Reforms, and the CA supporters outside of Alberta were former NDP supporters. In general these are voters who dislike both major parties and vote for the strongest third party challenger. Look at the long NDP hled ridings in Manitoba and Saskatechewan that went for Reform in 1993. For other evidence see: [1] [2] - SimonP 19:01, Oct 19, 2003 (UTC)
Green and Blue VS Blue and Green, since the party accepts Green as official since Blue was used by the PC's in responce to the Reform/NDP... those ridings voted for Populists, and the CA became Populist, hence, the CA DID pick up some NDP supporters, but, most of those supporters were themselvs former SC supporters.

The Conservative Party is socially progressive? Does anyone but the anonymous editor agree with this? I bet the gay and lesbian couples who would have the legal recognition of their marriages taken away if Stephen Harper and 95% of the CPC caucus had their way would disagree. I don't want to get into an edit war with someone who isn't willing to put his/her name to his/her edits, so help me out here, please. Kevintoronto 13:05, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Reform movement link
This is a useless link. The anonymous editor who keeps putting this in should read what that article has to say before linking to it. Here is the main part of that article:
- Reform movement is a kind of social movement that aims to make a change in certain aspects of the society rather than fundamental changes. It is opposed to radical social movement such as revolutionary movement or reactionary movement.
What does this have to say about the Reform Party of Canada or the Canadian Alliance? Really not very much. The rest of the article provides links to various reform movements in the US, especially those in the arts. Thanks, SimonP, for keeping on top of this.Kevintoronto 17:49, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Please see Talk:Reform Party of Canada for my proposed compromise to resolve this. Thanks. Kevintoronto 19:10, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Name
Wikipedia naming conventions are to use the most common name, and Canadian Alliance is by far the most common. - SimonP 07:12, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
What is the differ between center-right and right-of-center? Michaelm 4 July 2005 21:36 (UTC)
- Centre-right implies a party that is centrist, but in the right half of the central portion of the political spectrum. Right of centre is a synonym for right wing, and refer to a party that is not centrist. - SimonP July 4, 2005 22:55 (UTC)
[edit] "Canadian Tory"
The Canadian Alliance does not belong in that box. It was never called the "Tories", and actually refuted the name "tory".Habsfannova 23:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
