Talk:Democrats (Greenland)

Populism
I see there is a source saying they are "populists", but populism is an integrated part of the political culture in Greenland and the party is significantly less populist in its approach than e.g. Siumut (which is described simply as Social Democratic) or Naleraq, so I don't think it should be part of the intro. Its hardly an unbiased assessment.--Batmacumba (talk) 21:10, 18 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I can see the source is a chapter by the Danish anthropologist (not political scientist) Jens Dahl in a publication by the NGO the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs. That is not an unbiased source in this context (the descriptions of a Greenlandic centre-right party which back in 2006 when he wrote the text was unambiguously unionist). One can debate whether their self-image as Social Liberals is correct, or they are more mainstream Liberal if using a European yardstick (which is debatable), but they aren't Conservatives and among the least populist parties in Greenland, so neither of these characterizations are appropriate. It's always a problem sourcing info on Greenlandic politics, but we should avoid biased sources anyway.--Batmacumba (talk) 11:52, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
