Ideology[edit]

The article Politics of Newfoundland and Labrador refers to the political parties of NL as largely populist as opposed to ideological. Under Danny Williams, ideology was largely abandonded as government grew, new government programs were created, and all actions were justified with a regional form of nationalism. The PC Party has also positioned itself to the left of the federal Conservatives. For these reasons, the party's ideologies should be populist and nationalist.

You're suppose to sign your posts, and you can't just change a party's ideology just because of one source you saw about a former leader. Newfoundlander&Labradorian (talk) 20:47, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
