Talk:United National Party

Needs work
I've flagged this with some templates, the refs need beefing up, and the tone and language are too pointed for an encyclopedia article. --Nuujinn (talk) 17:39, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Pro-capitalist?
The term "pro-capitalist" is often used, but is probably incorrect. The UNP is pro-free enterprise, which is quite different.203.80.61.102 (talk) 03:04, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Nationalism in 1983
The party accepted the crimes against the Tamil Minorities so in the ideology section it needs to be written as Right-Wing or even Far-Right within the period of the second JVP insurgency and the beginning days of the civil war. Kommune12 (talk) 10:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)


 * When it comes to the country's ethnic minorities, most parties in Sri Lanka are right-wing/far-right, even socially liberal parties (UNP) or economically left wing parties (SLFP, CPSL, LSSP, JVP).--Obi2canibe (talk) 12:09, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Scope of article
This article seems to be a hodge-podge of facts about elections, cabinets and leaders, and frequently loses its focus on the party itself. This is easily seen in how the sections have very different lengths. The article's scope needs to be better defined, and the superfluous information removed (except as necessary to provide context). There should be more about the party's political positions, ideology, alliances, and voter base. The emphasis on leadership makes it seem like a cult of personality. – Reidgreg (talk) 20:37, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
