Talk:United National Movement (Georgia)

It's a far right political party
According to how this party treats the national minorities, it seems that the UNM is a far right political party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.190.194.119 (talk) 21:25, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

this is flag of georgia
this flag is not party flag, it is flag of a country, flag of georgia. unm has no flag. they were using this flag before 2004. after rose revolution this flag became state flag. party and country can not have same flag. therefore i have removed this flag from article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.221.252.247 (talk) 18:53, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Dissolved?
The infobox states that this party is dissolved and I recently made several changes to this article reflect that. These changes have since been reversed but the infobox still states that the party is dissolved. I was under the impression that the UNM split into the Movement for Liberty - European Georgia and the National Movement. Does anyone know what's going on here?

European Georgia split from the UNM whereas previously it was merely a parallel structure which had always participated in elections under European Georgia’s coalitions but never considered apart from the UNM. To say that the UNM is now just NM makes no sense as I see it because the coalitions which converged to make the UNM united are no longer involved.

Merge
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the "National Movement" is the same party. Charles Essie (talk) 22:06, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I think the other page should be deleted rather than merged though. Westchestiditor (talk) 12:20, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Sources needed; relation with UNM needed
Apart from a general need of sources, parts of this article such as #2004–2007: Centralization, reforms, strong executive cover the general achievements of Georgian government, broadly construed (president + parliament) without saying in what way this relates to the UNM. With all the party name changes (from National Movement to/from United National Movement?) and various short-term or long-term coalitions, this has to be clarified for ordinary readers who are not going to be able to remember all the various details of the full article.

I've currently marked this section with an offtopic tag, which of course can be removed if the relation with UNM is properly clarified. To what degree was Saakashvili representing the UNM or working with the UNM during this period? Currently the #Founding section of the article says that Saakashvili created the NM, not the UNM. Even if Saakashvili created the UNM and the UNM + other parties supported his presidential campaign, that doesn't say in what way the 2004–2007 executive and legislative actions related to UNM. Were ministers acting purely on behalf of the UNM party? Were they consulting various groups in Georgian society more broadly?

Please fix this with proper sourcing if you can help. Boud (talk) 17:06, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
