Talk:Left Democratic Front

Members
A source on membership would be needed. These edits contained some errors. CPI(Maoist) is obviously not a member of the Front. The Forward Bloc is not a member (at least so was the situation in 2006). INL is not a member, but a close ally. Groups like PDP have vacillating relation to LDF, sometimes allies sometimes not. --Soman (talk) 12:19, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, see the articles of United Progressive Alliance and National Democratic Alliance. Incidents about particular parties don't belong here. The content you added is most likely criticism of political parties including the RSS. This belongs to the pages of the respective articles if it's due. Also please see WP:NOTNEWS.

– Clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. There is only one other article actually called Left Democratic Front, and it is about an obscure defunct political alliance in Maharashtra. All the others listed at Left Democratic Front have inherent disambiguation, and none are nearly as significant or |Left_Democratic_Front_(Maharashtra)|Republican_Left_Democratic_Front|Left_of_Catalonia%E2%80%93Democratic_Electoral_Front|Democratic_Left_Front|Democratic_Left_Front_(Spain)|Democratic_Left_Front_(Sri_Lanka) viewed as the Kerala LDF anyway.

Ideology in infobox
I'm removing ideologies from the infobox, as LDF as a coalition has no distinct ideology of its own. The two largest constituents are communist, but LDF as a coalition is not communist or Marxist. As per the sources, the comment "CPM-led LDF a social democratic alternative with a progressive veneer." is not enough to say that LDF is ideologically social democratic, arguably here the author uses 'social democratic' in a very broad sense. gives zero backing for 'Progressivism'. Likewise really gives no indication at all about any ideological line of LDF, rather the article debates tactical arrangements in Kerala politics. -- Soman (talk) 12:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
