I removed the section on the party's future as it was speculative and seems dated with the references to Fine Gael's performance in 2004 (so unencyclopedic). Some of what's here could be incorporated into the main text abour the party. There were also a few minor mistakes. William Quill 12:56, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I've removed "neoliberalism" as a party ideology, as the term seems to be more of a slur than anything else. If someone can point to an instance of any Progressive Democrat party official describing the party as "neoliberal", an argument can be made to include it but to the best of my knowledge no such instance exists.

".....And did we have to pay some very high price for pursuing this policy option? Did we have to dismantle the welfare state? Did we have to abandon the concept of social inclusion? The answer is no: we didn't".'
Is this section a quote from Mary Harney or a polemic by the editor. If the later it should be removed if a quote - corrected and clearly shown as such.

I added that quote, as well as the "i don't get my politcs from any ideology" quote, some time ago. I sourced it from the party website at the time. It's from a party convention speech which I think was in 2002.
Is Harney restored to the leadership or currently just acting in post until the formal process can be sorted out? (Is the other PD TD ambitious?) Timrollpickering 17:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
We do not know as of it. See RTE News ant_ie 21:28, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
What's the likely future of the party? I think they'll hardly expect to make a comeback from such an utter defeat; are there any contingency plans? — Nightst a llion (?) 21:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I can't see why the ideology of the party can't be simply liberalism. Economic liberalism is obviously a componenent of liberalism. As one user said before me, neoliberalism is not needed to eplain the ideology of the party... at least we can exchange it with libertarianism. -- Checco 22:06, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

although evidence proves that although it may have at one stage been socially Liberal in its support for divorce and contraception, it is no longer Liberal and is as socially permissive as any other Irish centrist party. [1]
I am removing this again as the source does not match the opinion. I do not want to enter into an edit war, so if I am wrong, let me know. ant_ie 09:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The reason I am making this request is because I hate it when the PDs claim they are socially Liberal when their stances claim otherwise. Just look at their manifesto in the last election. Cavanagd 11:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC
The last sentence of the opening paragraph says PD are still in coalition with FF and the Greens. Is this still the case? It seems there defeat in the recent elections has brought an end to that? Have I missed my guess? Granted, I am many thousands of miles away, but my understanding is that the coalition collapsed. --- Theoldanarchist Comhrá 21:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
What is the difference between an Party Leader and a Party President? -- 89.60.212.114 ( talk) 17:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
The current slow edit warring on whether the PDs are actually extinct yet or not is not helpful. Has there been any coverage in the media as to when the party did/will formally cease to be a current legal entity? Timrollpickering ( talk) 21:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't their role in the current economic recession particularily in regard to their policies towards regulation (or rather lack of it) of the banking and construction industries be commented upon. Exiledone ( talk) 01:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Is there any reason to include Ireland in the title? I understood it to be Wikipedia convention to only have brackets in the title to distinguish articles of the same precise name. I know you mightn't know the party was from Ireland by the name alone, but you could say the same of the National Progressive Democrats. It's the kind of thing that should be avoided because it will mean going back over old links, and a lot of historic pages on Irish politics a little less neat in their coding. William Quill ( talk) 16:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 12:53, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Progressive Democrats (Ireland) → Progressive Democrats — This redirects here already. This party is the only one on Wikipedia vying for this precise title. It was renamed earlier this year. It was named as this till March of this year. The renaming means that many historic articles on Irish politics will have to be changed to avoid redirecting, and to a needlessly slightly more awkward form. Yes, there's the National Progressive Democrats, the Progressive Democrats of America and the Progressive Democratic Party. But it's not as if there's been any call for a disambig page, if people think there's confusion, the usual disambig note at the top should suffice. William Quill ( talk) 17:24, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
