Classical liberalism (political parties)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Original research. There is no source provided that defines or lists classical liberal parties, and the list seems to overlap with Conservative liberalism#Conservative-liberal parties worldwide and List of libertarian political parties. The sources provided for each party are links to their official websites, but a cursory glance shows that only one, the relatively new and minor Classical Liberal Party (Sweden), makes any claim to being a classical liberal party.

Keep Per WP:WORLDVIEW and WP:NPOV. If you search using synonyms of classical liberalism such as lassiez faire, free markets, minarchism, you will find that there is backing for the platform of these parties. Classical liberalism is clearly defined and all the parties on this list are consistent with the subject (unlike the poorly written libertarian and conservative liberal lists). I think if (per consensus) we are going to build a encyclopedia that makes sense, we need to eliminate overlap between topics as much as possible. For a given topic, having one Master list (in this case liberalism) and then concisely defined branch lists (if the topic is broad enough, which this one definitely is: see Social liberalism for the differences), it would greatly improve the readability of topics.-- Novus Orator 04:51, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - The article sounds completely like original research and POV. Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 01:50, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
